Critic’s poll names Stereo Night Minneapolis #4 Album of 2009

Let's just quit now.

Some of the praise we received during the year had the suspicious flavor of a lifetime achievement award, so to hear praise from a more broad aggregate of critics had a validating effect on the band. Don’t worry, we encounter humiliations at every turn. We won’t change except to try to make a better record with the songs we’re working on right now.

Okay, maybe this is a little comical

We’re not exactly new born, but the band is fresh like a hot cinnamon roll. God knows what more deserving band we bumped off the bill, but it’s fun to play First Ave., and of course they’ll have to yank us off the stage with long hooks.

  This gentleman of highest discernment has pierced through the fog and recognized Stereo Night for whatl it is. A man like this should teach a graduate level course in how to write about The Twilight Hours. You are correct, sir!
