An album for humid summer nights and silent films...

"Sure, you'll want to play "Did You Get What You Came For?" in the late orange afternoon, but the rest of the album is a perfect backdrop for those long, cricket-chirping, summer nights. Lazy, psychedelic, and infused with sticky-warm melodies, (In)organics is one of the best albums from a great Michigan band. I saw them in Lansing a few years back and I'll always associate these songs, particularly the fuzzy clockwork guitar lines of "Star," with the silent film they projected on the back wall. The clicking of the old projector only added to the nostalgic electric warmth of the music.

A great recording."

Tenacious CD

"Bought this back when my girlfriend and I were living in a tiny room with friends, and the sounds of this CD brought us through. Smooth brasses complementing richly produced delicate guitars with lyrics both melancholy and meaningful, (In)Organics continues, now two years later, to be a favorite."

"the sound of a summer night conveyed on one cd. after the opening jaunt of 'did you get what you came for' the darkness descends and the stars come out. the chill of the early hours, the sinister shadows and finally the dawn and the heat of the sun... it's all here. beautiful and moving, intriguing, mesmerizing and enthralling. this album started my love affair with this Michigan band, it was my favourite release of 2000 (it came out later in the UK) and i still play it loads.
Love it, love it, love it."
