"The High Dials capture the innocence and charm of mid to late 60's pop. Crooning/hazy vocals, catchy melodies, and Byrds-like jangly guitars dominate 'New Devotion'. Strands of early The Who, The Beatles, and even a twinge of psychadelia run throughout the album. As with the cyclical nature of music, another case of retro concepts coming full-circle. The High Dials' sound are really unlike bands from the Elephant 6 label, eg, Olivia Tremor Control, Apples In Stereo, capturing the spirit of a different era, without losing it's bite, without losing it's appeal."

Upbeat, catchy, 60's style garage/pop

"The first time I heard "Morning's White Vibration" on Little Steven's Underground Garage, I was instantly captivated by the upbeat 60's style music of the High Dials. I picked up New Devotion immediately and was very pleased with the consistency of all the songs on the CD. This is very enjoyable stuff - catchy hooks, great vocals, top notch musicianship. New Devotion puts a smile on my face everytime I listen to it (which is quite often). My favorite CD of 2003 so far. This is can't miss stuff."

These guys are for real

"Music steeped in 60's/70's garage/psych rock and done with decent vocals. A great cd under this Canadian bands new name (formerly the datsons or the datson four, some thing to that effect)Pop music the way it is meant to be."
