"The video, directed by the band, conjures arena-ready ambiance, indebted as much to smoke and lights as Michael Julian Escobar’s androgynous voice and his Page/Plant hair. Augmented by vintage organ, a loose-grooving rhythm section and back-alley, cig-smoking swagger, the video puts the right band in the right place, having a damn good time." - Jonathan Zwickel, City Arts Magazine (Seattle)
"Featuring a collection of plucked banjo rhythms, shivering guitar tones and a subtle percussive shuffle, the song rises to meet the croon and shake of Bass’ voice, an ephemeral and affecting thing that completely immerses itself in these languid melodies and poignant internal conversations." See the latest music video from Jeremy Bass today over at Nooga.com. "We Will Be You" is from the just-released The Greatest Fire, out now via Jungle Strut Music. #RIYL: Iron & Wine, Neko Case, Calexico
"Perfectly blends the best of the ’80s while offering up intriguing and impressively original songwriting. The band’s musicianship and songwriting chops are evident throughout 'Deliver,' as it is a strikingly original composition despite heavy influences from three decades ago." - mxdwn on MOTORCADE
