""While their four song cassette sold at shows last year was a slice of pure pop heaven, their new disc is heavenly sedated. Tempos wax and wane, feedback changes to melody, this dream is never sleepy. Theirs is the world of the layered, simple yet somehow so big, pop song." - Jill Langer, FANZ Magazine, Spring '96 "Call it spacey noise, tell them that they rock with all the fury of bands like Smashing Pumpkins and with all the mellower splendor of fellow-scenesters Low, leaving them somehow comparable to Ivy or Medicine, but somehow not even close. But whatever you do, don't call it dream pop...February is a band that understands the way your feeling so well, they wrote six songs about it and put out a CD just for you." - Dan LaMere, Kamikaze Magazine, 1996"...they're waking from a dreamy four month hibernation that must have induced their self-release Even The Night Can't Tell You From A Star. I can't tell february from stars either; their first cassette and 7-inch alone have helped build a rabid, all-age following. Is it their youthful recharge of the dream-pop non genre, their intimate but explosive stage chemistry, or the angelic vocals of their lead singer?" - Simon Peter Groebner, City Pages, 2/14/96"Minneapolis' February plays an evocative brand of dream pop that winds itself around singer Amy Turany's voice and Damian Neubauer's impressive, impressionistic guitar work for a sound that's part Sundays, part Bettie Serveert and part cool listening bliss." - Chicago's New City, 11/2/95"February is the band dreams are made of. Each song shimmers with an ebbing and flowing of guitar awash in a beautiful landscape of drums, bass, and vocals which allow you to escape to another world. I recently had the chance to see this band live (twice actually), and they're able to bring the sound of their studio work into the live arena. To be blunt, this band rules. Alot." - Tim Schloe, Cake Magazine, 1995"

Understated beauty

"Here is a gem. A collaboration of some of the most unique people you've ever met. A great Minneapolis band, that I indeed had the pleasure of playing with on a couple of occasions as an opener on the club scene. I am certain that their togetherness has long since dissapated, but their sound has been preserved here in excellent form, just as they were. Give it up for February!"
