EARLY PRAISE FOR SIC ALPS
"Garage-rock standouts Sic Alps ooze '60s revival on
this, their fifth full-length album. Messy yet polished guitars surge through
swathes of melodic white noise while the tracks are still able to maintain an
impressive sharpness." - FILTER
"Sic Alps is more tuneful, and many songs
sound as if they could be late-Beatles B-sides. Opening track 'Glyphs' begins
with a string section and chugs along hypnotically, echoing "I Am the
Walrus." - San Francisco Examiner
"Much of Sic Alps channels the
rambunctious psychedelia of The White Album's heavier moments:
there's an obsessive attention to detail on tracks like Glyphs, evident in the
60s guitar sound and deliberately wobbly, lo-fi production, but that care is
offset by a playful imaginativeness, which ensures Sic Alps are never in thrall
to their influences" - The Skinny
