"Tropical Popsicle wore their appreciation of
American proto-psych on their sleeve, like White Fence, though with some
sentiments that sounded more pissed-off than Tim Presley ever seems to
be."- LA RECORD
"San Diego's groovy Tropical Popsicle; a trio of
goth-y bad trippers made good use of synth keys and tidal wave riding guitars
equipped with a Moe Tucker minimalist stand-up drum kit." -
IMPOSE
"Tropical Popsicle burst forth with one of those
perfect mid-summer jams… the ones that blast out your car windows at the
lake, that make you do stupid shit like throw bologna on the hood of a
droptop beamer or jump in the water ass naked at 4AM." - I
Guess I'm Floating
"Instead of falling flat, the deadpan vocal delivery
of Tim Hines pulled me in and kept my attention, making me forget about my
plans to leave midset." - Brooklyn Vegan
