Here's a new review from Zeitgeist Magazine (in Edinburgh, Scotland):
Jeff Merchant is a member of the cult fave group The Lullabies. Nope,
me neither. But who cares when he can conjure up a collection of dense,
orchestrated, intricate 'pop' songs as compelling as these.
By utilizing instruments not often heard in mainstream popular music
he's managed to take what were already good songs and turn them into
very special ones. Imagine seventies Elton John fronting Tindersticks
and you might be somewhere in the vicinity of the ballpark.
Telling tales that can be universally understood, this is the kind of
intelligent grown up music that gives musicians a good name.

Also the song, "All of the Times" is #21 on Radiowave's Adds & Airplay
Chart for the week of 10/26/2006 - 11/2/2006.
