REVIEWS:

"Think of epic sounds on a small scale. Or maybe, monumental music on a shoestring budget. I tend to think of Spirtualized meets Ivy, but add attitude and rock and roll swagger, and of course the lo-fi aesthetic. They know when to turn up the guitars and give you a pop inspired gem a la Grandaddy, as is the case with track 3, “Big Day Squad”. But, adversely, know when to lull you away to dreamland with reverbed guitars and sonic swells like on the very next song, “My Baby’s All Gone, Your Baby’s All Gone”, which makes me think of both Luna and Stratford 4...For a virtual unknown, Sparks Fly From A Kiss come onto the scene like a lion. I think most people will be stunned by the maturity displayed on this album... they have taken their years of experience to heart and channeled it into a great piece of work". - Jake Haselman, IndieWorkshop www.ambiguouscity.com/sparksflyfromakiss.html

"The sextet's self-titled debut shimmers... glistening with twinkling guitars and atmospheric dissonance. The set peaks in the six-minute space-pop suite "My Baby's All Gone, Your Baby's All Gone", which drowsily canters along before transmuting into a crashing indie-rock answer to Pink Floyd's "Eclipse", minus the gospel choir". - Steve English, SplendidEZine www.ambiguouscity.com/sparksflyfromakiss.html

"a focus on tight song structures and pretty texturing. Somehow, the band merges those diverse directions effortlessly on six tracks that feel all too short when the EP is complete...with stellar vocals and guitars, but this is a six-piece band, which helps explain the great big sound Sparks maintains. Plenty of guitars, plenty of texturing, and a nice mix of synths really makes this a stellar EP, and I’ll be eagerly anticipating a full-length." - Jeff Marsh, Delusions of Adequacy www.adequacy.net/2004/03/sparks-fly-from-a-kiss-s-t-ep/

"a delicate latticework of sounds cobbled out of keyboards, samples, melodic bass, and very subdued electric guitars... this is a brave and definitely new approach; and it works beautifully" - Jim Testa, Jersey Beat www.ambiguouscity.com/sparksflyfromakiss.html
