Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "They're aspiring to lofty melodic standards, and on the lilting sing-along 'Older' and the earthy lo-fi contemplation of 'Evening Kitchen' they achieve them in timeless fashion.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "While it sees Ben Bridwell leaving his lo-fi past behind, INFINITE ARMS is a neoclassic landmark that you'll need to get on vinyl.", "Still present, and lovely, are the lilting ballads, afternoon-delight AM gold, and keening boot-stompers, all delivered with a back-porch abandon...", "The stomping rhythm and mammoth chorus of first single 'Compliments' make it the most flat-out enjoyable track the band has ever recorded.", "A sonic step forward....Bridwell's vocals are glossier, while the album's rock arrangements are lush and complex.", "INFINITE ARMS sees the band, led by Ben Bridwell, drop many of their 'indie rock' pretensions for a more classic, rootsy American sound....INFINITE ARMS is their strongest album yet...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Suddenly, the band has blossomed into something more like the Band, with rich harmonies -- even when Bridwell just multitracks his own voice -- and fuller arrangements."
