PRESS:
Cities And Temples is a layered gem....a complete album that shouldn't be missed. - Transworld Surf Magazine Cities Are Temples is an innovative effort from a talented band, and accomplishes the rare feat of being both original and listenable. - All Music Guide There are albums that live in us, and there are albums we could live in. Cities Are Temples by Via Satellite is one such record-the sounds, the aural landscape, are so vivid and dense that you can envision packing up your things and setting up shop within the notes and melodies of its music. You hear it, and when you respond to it, you don't just want to hear it again-you wish you could be inside of it. - IGN/International Gaming Network Like a stone skimming along the surface of a calm lake, San Diego trio Via Satellite creates placid music that sends ripples through your mind long after you've pushed "stop" on your CD player....San Diego Union Tribune Parts of both early and later Ester Drang, some Album Leaf, and early 90's shoegazer make up Cities Are Temples, one of the best albums I've heard so far this year. It is a seamless album that lulls you in with its delicate piano/keyboard lines, then smashes you over the head with waves of epic post-rock. - Indie Workshop Cities Are Temples has enough daring moments both musically and emotionally to firmly establish it as the first truly great album of 2005.... - Pop Matters (Via Satellite) has done gone and unleashed a heavy, meditative set of tunes loose on us for no reason 'cept for to turn our heads 'round, make us take notice and jump for joy at the thought of our expanding minds...Great record, especially if you've got a set of headphones handy. - Copper Press Via Satellite knows when to lay it on and when to back off, teasing you deeper in with big, rich melodies....Cities Are Temples is a left-field surprise..." - Music Emissions |
