Doleful Lions
More positivity for the Doleful Lions' latest, Song Cyclops Volume Two:
Stylus Magazine: "A lo-fi labor of love, the Doleful Lions’ music is a melodic mess of perfect pop and maudlin introspection, full of disparate styles and quirky lyrical traits. A quick look at the bands covered on this album (Beach Boys, Phil Spector, The Misfits, The Close Lobsters, and The Descendants) gives some idea of Jonathan Scott’s influences, for it is he alone (with help from a revolving cast of collaborators) who is Doleful Lions."
And the erstwhile blogger:
Pop Zeus: "Scott can definitely be described as a pop disciple, but with more "out there" songs like "Gimghoul Numerologist" its fairly obvious that he's a music fan of the whole spectrum, from the Beach Boys to Stockhausen."
