Press Reviews per listen.com - "Jagged, jangly, difficult but never completely inaccessible, BlueLine is not sweet and dimple-ridden enough to be called Twee, but they do share Calvin Johnson's affinity for stripped-down production, melodies lurking within weirdness, and the (very successful) use of boy/girl vocals. This duo is also courteous enough to make their songs short and sweet -- there's nary a one over three minutes, most are less than two. This can prove frustrating for the potential fan, only because BlueLine is so strong that you want some of these wonderfully angular, smart and catchy songs to last just a bit longer (Guided By Voices, anyone?). Genuinely weird tracks like the anti-funky "Glacier Strike," with it's cheesy, appropriately used synth sounds, distorted vocals and unpredictable changes, somehow sit comfortably next to simple, hopelessly Lo-Fi numbers like "Easy Target," where guitar, bass and female vocals merge to create deceptively simple Indie Rock."
