about

"[Machine Go Boom] strikes indie pop frankincense when they unearth mega-bouncy melodies. The sincere irreverence and undeniable charm that leaps from every corner of the album creates decadently orgasmic pop that transcends its own goofiness and perches itself upon rainbows made of smiles and Buddy Holly glasses. Before you can possibly recover from the last manically-howled hook, another one hops on its back before they stumble giddily into the next ditty. If there's one thing Mikey and Co. can do with terrifying aplomb, it's squeezing out minute-and-a-half gems. "All the Way to PA" and "Build Me a Ladder" are berserk examples of pure bananas pop genius, as is the chant of "Hate!" on "Gentleman's Reply," which will ultimately lead to holes in the drywall. Are they the best band in Cleveland or the best pop outfit in the whole wiggle-wide world? This question's all that remains after "Music for Parents" wrecks the living room, clogs the toilet and pours pixie sticks down the cat's throat." --Johnny Payne, BG News

"How can something that sounds so fun also feel so weighty? How can music that feels like lifeblood chug along so merrily? I have some reference-math if you want it: Machine Go Boom make good on the promise of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea with a Sebadoh-like kitchen-sink prolificacy. Theirs is a rich-yet-frayed exuberance, singing joyfully in spite of cracked voices, smiling fully through cracked lips. As contagious and immediate as the best busker you’ve ever heard, this is lived-in music, and you should live in it, too." --Zapruder Point
