Praise for Tinfoil on the Windows
“Undeniably strange but weirdly compelling, with echoes of everyone from cult Texas weirdo Jandek to shoegazer gods My Bloody Valentine, Tinfoil on the Windows is one of 2007’s most difficult to categorize albums.”—All Music Guide
“This record is inspiringly brilliant…It’s definitely one of the best albums I have heard in a very long time.” —RVA Magazine
“A wonderfully produced and performed recording that reveals itself more with every listen.” —Kid Koala
“Soso manages to hit numerous nails on the head throughout the course of Tinfoil making the album vital, intrinsic listening for anyone with a passing interest in human error or creative speech.” —Grapeshift
“[soso’s] home truths and intriguing thought processes melt willfully into your ears…being left with shuddering ear lobes, perky arm hairs and cold elbows has never felt so damn good.” —3 Bar Fire
“There’s a sparsity & bleakness here that really affects you. The songs are quietly arresting, interspersed with some tender minimalism & experimentalism.” —Norman Records
