Spin (p.112) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Pristine set-opener 'Aerial' and the elegantly gliding 'on a Letter' jangle and chime with mathematical precision..."Alternative Press (p.155) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Post-rock inflections, electronic embellishments, artfully designed arrangements and time changes, and the sighing vocals and breathy phrasing of guitarist/vocalist Sam Prekop. True to form, the band deliver yet again on CAR ALARM."The Wire (p.68) - "The set is dominated by neat three and a half minute packages of semi-supercharged guitar pop."Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The hot licks and cool groove of 'New Schools' are the whole record in microcosm, each play revealing subtle shades and a pleasure in the details."Clash (magazine) (p.121) - "A technically accomplished bunch of breezy West Coast pop songs perfect to listen to when the sun is setting."Clash (magazine) (p.87) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "CAR ALARM picks right up on the coiled grooves of its predecessor with heated opener 'Aerial' and 'Fuller Moon,' which brings a taut bounce into play."Signal To Noise (magazine) (p.71) - "[T]hey sound as tight as they ever have, as if after 14 years of playing together the band has developed a kind of musical mind-meld."11.40628
