Press Reviews HiTS Magazine: "A heady blend of dark, alternative pop..." San Francisco Bay Guardian: "SJR's third release, Last Night's Dream, is a stripped-down rock album wherein singer Nicole Katler's rich vocals confront the band's expansive melodies head-on, creating tuneful slow burners where the guitar can alternately rock out or passionately seethe between the lines." San Francisco Weekly: "A stroll to the crossroads of crunchy post-punk and jangly melodic pop." Gavin Magazine: "Raw, powerful, dark, emotional, recalling elements of Throwing Muses, PJ Harvey, the Smiths,and Bowie..." San Francisco Bay Guardian: "An aural trip back to Rhode Island circa 1986, when Throwing Muses and the Pixies first brought their ornery melodicism into the studio..." Snackcake Magazine: "Kristin Hersh ought to be flattered by records like this..."
