"Closer To God" various reviews
Rolling Stone (6/24/93, p.84) 3.5 Stars - Very Good
"...arrangements that suggest a stripped-down Byrds of uncertain vintage...the
Television Personalities come calling with a kit bag of fascinating dreams
and disturbing nightmares. Invite these scruffy charmers in, and they may
never leave..."
Spin (1/92, p.67) - Highly Recommended
"...painfully sincere, harrowing, primitive psych-pop songs about love,
depression, art, and religion...ebullient bits of undeniably skewed pop...more
effective than any religious experience I've ever had..."
New Musical Express (11/7/92, p.36)
"...they still haven't lost the knack of pulling a good tune from seemingly
nowhere or coming up with an idea that will tug at your sleeve for
attention..."
Alternative Press (3/93, p.59)
"...skips delicately along the line dividing engaging lunacy from maddening
worthlessness, a Disneyland dissonance which only occasionally takes a wrong
turn..."
