"Jon Pataky of Grand Rapids-based ensemble indie pop band The Mighty Narwhale ... is, it seems, a smartass. And I like that. His band is comprised of seven people playing all the usual things found in this sub-subgenre of heavily augmented indie pop (aside from the standard guitar/bass/drums/keys, TMN incorporate trombone, Theremin, accordion, violin, mandolin, bell kit and a few other things typically plundered from attics and garage sales by the tight T-shirt set)." -REAL DETROIT WEEKLY
“If there were more bands with the Narwhale in it, the world would be a better place." -Houghton High School Senior Tommy de Yampert in the DAILY MINING GAZETTE
