| "Its opening cut, "Too Far to Go," sounds like a dramatic opener by some life-wearied veteran indie-rock band recording in a hi-fi studio. By the third track, "Dancing Blind," with its frazzled guitar part and frontman Nate Borgen's high-flying vocals, I wondered why I'm traveling 1,200 miles next week to try to find hot new bands to rave about.[at SXSW]" | |

| “From the guitar-as-metronome intro to the sweeping falsetto chorus, "Too Far to Go" works in the most accessible shades of Spoon. Dancing Blind…sneaks in on a quiet church organ chord before unveiling its sure-fire stuck-in-your-head melody on parallel guitar and vocals. Low Lustre are a young band with plenty of potential” | |

| “The Minneapolis trio’s new self-titled six-song EP…combines a rootsy approach reminiscent of Wilco or, more locally, Ol’ Yeller, with the occasional shimmery guitar riff that you’d expect from an album by The Church or My Bloody Valentine.” | |

| “They sound like early, "I Will Follow"-era U2, that grandstanding semi-punk band that came out of nowhere. They've got the melodrama, but they've also got the melody and passion to pull it off fantastically.” | |

“It’s good, it makes me happy” |

| “’Too Far to Go’ is a mezmerizing leadoff track that creeps in, eventually soars - and it’s only skyward from there” | |

| "Dancing Blind" opens with a guitar riff that reels you in as sweet raspy vocals take you away to the land of aural goodness. Listen to it. Love it.” | |
