"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”
  -City Pages, Minneapolis
“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.”
  -The Onion
“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”

  -Ted Leibowitz, Bagel Radio, San Fransisco
“’Too Far to Go’ is a mezmerizing leadoff track that creeps in, eventually soars - and it’s only skyward from there”
  -Rift Magazine
"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.”
