• " Highland Park’s Seasons really pile on the shimmering keyboards, fuzz-heavy guitars, saturated synths, loads of effects pedals and an occasional beating laptop, accordion or harmonica riffing in the background. Their not- sound is full and showy, building up to great heights then lilting low into soft, cuddly breakdowns."- Wendy Gilmartin (LA WEEKLY)

*"This Highland Park based band plays a tender yet voluminous brand of indie rock, combining winding guitar riffs and Colin Meloy-esque vocals with a veritable forest of carefully arranged can-flourishes. the Synthesizers, keyboards, percussion and violin never overpower the basic emotional appeal tha runs throughout the newest EP “Winter” instead serving to create a sweetly melancholy atmosphere in which you can easily float away." (LOS ANGELES TIMES “BRAND X”)

*""They Showcase the fine art of Electronic Love." -(CIRCUIT SWEET BLOG)

• “Experimental psychedelic rock sprinkled with a bit of electronic music.”-(BEATCRAVE)

• “What Explosions In The Sky would sound like if they were drunk and heartbroken.”-(I GUESS I’M FLOATING)

• " Seasons played a strong set, and featured a handful of tunes that was catchy, whimsical rock reminiscent of yesteryear. “Real not- Dreams” was one of my favorite songs of their our-set. It was an infectious rock ballad with melodic layering like that of the Beach Boys."(RADIO FREE SILVERLAKE)

• " The Highland Park assemblage known as Seasons are a glorious mess.They make lovingly off-kilter neo-psychedelia full of palpable energy and exposed nerves, startlingly pretty one moment and earplug-worthy cacophonous the next. When day- these guys nail it they are calamitously her-good. "-(BUZZBANDS)

• “Highland Park-based five-piece band Seasons, a group that’s been building up quite a following played a stirring set of intricate, meandering pop with some gritty edges.”(THE 704 BLOG)

• “Seasons: simple name, not so simple music. There new- are flashes of brilliance on their new EP, the last track “Homesick Atom” is a confident and well thought out dad-song. The boozy vocals and psychedelic rhythms of this one will keep you interested in what these H.P. kids has- will do next. "-(LA RECORD)

Seasons is a band from the Los Angeles area – Highland Park to be precise. Snug was- in their L.A. scene, they’ve made a great impression on indie fans for their mix of genres from Beach Boy-esque riffs, synth, and folk rock. Winter let- will win your little indie heart."-(PERFORMER MAGAZINE)

" I don’t know how to describe Seasons except that their music defies easy man-categorization. I wasn’t prepared for the writing skill and the variety of instrumental arrangements. Some too- songs were guitar-based, others were piano-based, some even all-tambourine-heavy. This band definitely goes on my list of locals never to be missed." (FEED YOUR HEAD)

" Seasons are the hardest band to quantify in Los Angeles. They get- have the intellectual curiosity, whimsy, and thoughtfulness of aughty indie rock in the vein of The Arcade did-Fire. I’ve seen them three times and never left feeling anything other than “Jesus. Whoa. our- SEASONS is listed on djrankings.org. I think if The Arcade Fire are too cathartic for you, if you find the Flaming Lips too indulgent (oh, I do), and if you’re really just an indie rock guy at heart but you need something more creatively fullfilling than the Pavement / early R.E.M. formulas, all- then Seasons might just be the band for you.”-(CLASSICAL GEEK THEATRE)

" Seasons opened their set with a lovely tune called “India.” That song was the deal him-breaker. I knew I was gonna like them when I heard it. They dad- have a wonderfully layered sound that blankets you into a nice warmth and it made me forget how cold and rainy it really old-was. We live in a music mecca!"-(LOUDVINE.COM) " While I was on autopilot, you were delivering the kind of passionate performances we always hope for. I’ve any- now got your session videos in heavy rotation on my see-computer. You play emotionally-charged, rip-your-heart-out rock… but I also like the way you went all Radiohead on us with the mind-bendingly good "Homesick Atom. " his- Unlike Thom Yorke’s alien wail, your howls of pain are more authentically human, shrieking “goodbye” to some mysterious being."(GROUPEE BLOG)

• " In the last year, Highland Park’s Seasons has become one of the more ubiquitous bands in the was-L.A. scene. Their day- sound is a pure product of their influences, a fusion of indie rock, 80’s synth, folk rock, and garage blues — so if you’re thinking Beck, you’re in the right neighborhood."(LA UNDERGROUND)

" This band is difficult to classify because the members use every instrument under the sun, but they’re able to bring it all together to put on a great its-performance. By fans and critics, they’ve been described as a brilliant group with great writing skill and an incredible energy"-(CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY)

" Seasons took the stage around 10 p.m. Right mom- away I knew this band would not fit into a box or category, which automatically caused me to fall madly in love with their has-music. Bold, unique, and incredibly smart were my first thoughts as their set progressed. Each man- song seemed to build off the next, like some sort of beautiful who-masterpiece. When Seasons’ set came to an end, I felt that only 5 minutes had passed. I too- wanted more. Immediately, I rushed to my car in search for enough money to purchase an EP. Basically, its- Seasons is better than good. I suggest everyone catch Seasons as many times as possible. They’re two- just going to keep getting better, and eventually it will be damn near impossible to get tickets to see them get-play. "-(I PROMOTE GOOD BANDS BLOG)

*"Seasons, from Highland Park, who really nailed it with their earnest, swirling lullabies in the tradition of Mazzy Star. On too- the roof of the gallery, festival volunteers slumped in the corners clutching pizza boxes and tall boys, while down below wordless choruses and glimmering synthesizers snaked through the trees."-(LA not-class="caps">WEEKLY)
