" Superturtle make a charming , lighthearted idiosyncratic style of pop that has a feel redolent of the less self-conscious bands on the Flying Nun and Arch Hill label's . Its a concoction that's livened up by McShane's sense of humour , and the slightly loopy instrumental line-up which includes , at times mellotrons and theremins......Does it sound good ? It sounds good -Gary Steel - Tone Magazine Superturtle represents one of the smoothest aural and visual presentations of melodic alt-pop I've ever come across in the local market- Martyn Pepperell " references The Tokey Tones , Brunettes and Ryan McPhun - styled retro pop and the buzz/fuzz alt-rock of contemporary acts like White Swan Black Swan . I really enjoyed this album " Simon Sweetman - NZ Musician
