Reviews
"I Don't Want to Dream is a year round pleasure, a gentle stroll that'll bring some order to your chaotic life. Take 'I Love The Girls' for example and realize that life's simple pleasures has a brand new addition."
@
MP3 Hugger
"The opening of 'I Love The Girls' has the kind of innocent and offbeat charm that would fit nicely into a Wes Anderson soundtrack."
@
Hypeful
"I Don't Want to Dream is a wonderful album that's one of the best of 2009 so far"
@
Eardrums Music
"While firmly steeped in the indie tradition, Marc's songs traverse many genres of pop: from twee to power to psychedelic to chamber to folk to lo-fi (and back again). The common threads are Marc's idiosyncratic vocals, often accompanied by surprising harmonies, and clever and heartfelt lyrics."
@
Indie Passion
"I Don't Want to Dream is one of the most pleasant sounds of the year so far."
@
Another Form of Relief
"The City and Horses are one of the bands to watch in 2009."
@
Indie Rock Cafe
"Little Finland hits all the right notes: teddy bear lead guitar, wind instruments borrowed from Belle & Sebastian, and wistful lyrics about a girl who's 'not innocent'. 'Oops, I Did It Again' this ain't, but you may find yourself dancing anyway."
@
Rawk Blog
"I Don't Want to Dream is full of erudite pop songcraft that's comfortable without coming off as overbearingly scholarly or too cute to handle, hot potato"
"Nerdy-sexy-cool pop music."
@
The Sky Report
"Marc kicks out 4-track folk, his brittle guitar and creaky croon carrying tales of mall girls, night driving and general malaise. He is beleaguered, but not beaten. Think Lou Barlow, circa 1991."
@
The Philadelphia Weekly
"The City & Horses is a catchy, jangly, lo-fi project out of New York from generously talented, and generous, Marc Louis."
@
*SIXEYES
"The group have a sound somewhere between Mercury Rev and Teenage Fanclub, but perhaps a more obvious reference point would be The Velvet Underground"
