“It’s warm, airy and will relax your shoulders following three months of winter hunching.” – Guitar World
“Ripley Johnson has been responsible for some of the past decade’s most mesmeric and beguiling albums… Rose City Band might be the best of the bunch.” – The Guardian
“[Johnson’s] Rose City Band incarnation may be his most dazzling and uplifting so far… [Rose City Band] transforms the fuzz-drenched thrust of Johnson’s usual music into a beatific choogle, a modest but potent means of escape” – MOJO
“This jammy psychedelic country group injects live band energy and dynamics into an otherwise controlled studio creation… like Yo La Tengo jamming with ‘Skull & Roses’-era Dead… Johnson’s metered songwriting and warm, textural playing keep the project’s earthy spirit intact as it continues evolving with every new set of tunes.” – AllMusic
