Press Reviews This easygoing sophmore set is an occasionally surprising disc that is now showing more imagination than most. ---No Depression Magazine Jan, 2003---- Belleville successfully weave their way through a variety of Americana checkpoints thread throughout by terrific songwriting. ---Miles of Music Oct, 2002------ Inviting from the first spin, this thoughtful bedroom gem manages to evoke The Byrds and Belle & Sebastian, sometimes in the course of a single song---Pause Record March, 2003---- Belleville has managed to create a gem of an album that continues to grow more and more appealing with each listen.---The Alt-Country Review Nov, 2002----- 'My Friends Are My Estate' includes ten original songs that combine jangle ’n’ twang in a very appealing fashion.---The Big Takeover Dec,2002----- 'My Friends Are My Estate' is an album that covers a fair amount of territory, all of it sonically scenic. ---Santa Monica Mirror Dec,2002----- 'My Friends Are My Estate' contains a dramatic mix of stilted vocal rhythms, classic Depression Era twangs and a sultry alt-country swagger.---Pop Matters April,2003----- This Northern California group has created an exquisite piece of music with songs of style and class. ---Glitterhouse Records February,2003----- For all the alt.country bands trying to hop on the classic pop bandwagon, along comes Belleville out of relative nowhere to show the rest how to do it properly. I say that in all seriousness and pure awe. The best record of the year so far.---Freight Train Boogie June,2003
