    Press Reviews
    ... the music is superbly moody modern rock, approaching brilliance at times as it shines a light down the same dark pathways as Radiohead, the Verve, Bloomsday, even The Choir.  Listening to this on headphones, I often felt as though I had entered another universe.  A place of lush melody and emotion, warm guitars, quietly throbbing bass, and an atmosphere that's alive!  There is much variety in the vocals--way back in the mix, "normal," distorted, soft-spoken, upbeat...you get it.  Interesting song titles ("Nancy Meets Nostradamus", "The Insane Protagonist", "My Supercountry") and lyrics reflect the band's interest in literature, and take some effort to interpret (but they still sound cool even to people like me who can't figure them out). The last track, "Time Must Have a Stop" is from the viewpoint of a man dying in a hospital bed.  It's a heartbreaker.  Melancholy vocals, sad piano background, heartbeat and monitor sounds, and a breathing machine work together to produce one of the most moving songs I've heard. Tears, man.     Don't let the name Bumblepuppy scare you away, because this is powerful stuff. Josh Spencer - The Phantom Tollbooth
