"7.5 out of 10. Throughout Ice Station, the sense of cinema is
palpable; Klein and Eustis' music seems designed to aurally evoke
elements David Lean's panoramic stoicism, the glimmering dystopia of
Blade Runner, and Robert Flaherty's lonesome minutae.... It’s
best quality is Klein's ability to make restraint sound fresh and
vibrant, and it offers evidence that his own isolation, digging through
stacks of dusty reference books, helped immeasurably to create Ice
Station's ingratiating sense of frozen solitude." - Pitchfork Media

"8 out of 10. Because of the nature of their work, the Race do not
always give the listener easy reference points. There is definite
difficulty in attempting to impose classification or the constraints of
genre; trying to say the Race sound like this or that band ultimately
proves futile. The Race seem to have achieved their artistic end
(pushing the bounds of what one is used to hearing in a pop song)
through unconventional means (tweaking sonic elements and layering
various sounds in certain patterns without breaking apart existing
ideas about song structures or forms). Ultimately, the steps which
produced Ice Station result in a truly rewarding musical journey with
much sonic scenery to experience along the way. One might hope the road
between this and the band’s next project might be a bit smoother
though no less colorful."

"Members of The Alarmists (Calm Down.) show that they can do more than
write beautifully danceable soul/funk grooves, as if that were not
enough to solidify their influence in the Bloomington music scene.
Prepare to be delighted by jagged folk/pop songs, drenched in fiddle
and musical saw."
"Goheen and the Andys."
