• "Jeffares voice soars above the hauntingly icy bass lines and chilly atmospherics. Bombs and death rays, corporate decay, and failed or failing love are just some of the bleak themes the band explore, and their album's title track might offer the best solution to the hopelessness of it all."
  
  -- SPIN
  
  "The charm of Snowden's debut is its understated authenticity: Underneath all the accoutrements, these are Jeffare's bedroom songs, and it's not hard to extrapolate to their simpler days as anguished acoustic ballads."
  
  -- Village Voice
  
  "The original Snowden taught Yossarian that man is matter-- kill us and we're dead. It's OK for stylish post-punk to matter, too, and Anti-Anti does so without forgetting to be fun."

• Josh Reichmann has been experimenting with music, forming bands, recording and touring for years. The tangible outcomes of such travels most notably include Josh's first band, Tangiers, who brought a Rock/Post-Punk sound that began a trail of critical acclaim with their first release Hot New Spirits and spread over two more records (Never Bring You Pleasure), 2004 and The Family Myth, 2005). A bending blend of genres and with a transcendent atmosphere that was displayed both live and on record, Tangiers caught the attention of indie-rock fans across Canada and the US, and earned rave reviews from such notable sources as Pitchfork Media.
  
  Years from the landscape of Tangiers, Josh again returns to music with an entirely new line up of collaborators. As before, he seeks to offer a new sound and approach drawing from a collection of his time-tested influences, newfound landscapes and his own highly cultivated voice. Now gathering from a pool of Soul, early-Funk, Roots and dark Punk influences, Josh endeavors to continue to challenge the contemporary ideas surrounding song and fashion while at the same time remaining committed to traditional song craftsmanship.
