UncutJun 26, 2013Talk of golden snakes, white hands of grief and stalking vultures is somehow steered clear of quasi-mystic cliche, marking out Rose Windows as promising contenders on the psych-rock block. [Jul 2013, p.80]

Under The RadarJun 26, 2013Listening to The Sun Dogs, it seems almost impossible that the album came out in 2013, and not 40 years ago. And this is a very good thing. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.90]
