Austin ChronicleThe ultimate effect is engaging and generally impressive, although you wonder if the Postmarks are targeting the wrong audience. [Oct 2009, p.114]
-
Memoirs at the End of the World, as ambitious as it seems, never seems to overstate it’s welcome.
-
FilterIf the next James Bond film needs a soundtrack, those in charge should look to the latest from Florida-based trio The Postmarks. [Fall 2009, p.106]
-
Yehezkely, with her limited range and slightly detached delivery, effectively bridges that gap between the music's indulgent/escapist tendencies and our desire to connect with it despite that distance.
-
The Postmarks have created epic, cinematic, multi-instrumental pop that meets every lofty ambition of its authors while remaining accessible enough to translate to the masses with its beautiful melodies and alluring soundscapes.
-
Even though the album may be enough of a stretch that it could chase away many of the band's fans, if you give it a chance, Memoirs at the End of the World is a completely successful melding of the Postmarks' autumnal sweetness with the elevated drama and epic nature of film scores.
-
Much of Memoirs seems familiar even on first listen; it’s all been done better before.
