Another Murder in the Morning review from i(heart)music

With Another Murder In The Morning, Colin Skrapek makes a pretty convincing argument that he may be one of the best pop songwriters in the country… Another Murder… is crammed full of instantly memorable gems…that seem tailored towards the singular goal of worming their way deep into your brain… Read full article »

Another Murder in the Morning review from SoundProof

As big a step forward as Animals & Architects was, however, it’s on Another Murder In The Morning that Skrapek seems to have really hit his stride. The album is stuffed full of barnstormers like “More Blood Than Sleep (After B.C.)”, “You Would Never Survive the Winters in This Province”, and “The Walrus With the Gunswordaxe vs. The Big Bang Machine”… You can expect to see it on more than a few critics’ year-end lists… Read full article »

Another Murder in the Morning review from Herohill

“Front to back, Another Murder in the Morning sizzles. It escapes classification, as Skrapek is as likely to sample from Nilsson or Orbison as he is quirky popsters like The Flaming Lips or cover the track with a blissful MBV haze, but never strays too far that he loses his own voice or his own unique style. Not your typical murder ballads or morose tales of loneliness, if we could all make our darkest thoughts sound this good, the world would be a much better place.” Read full review »
