iTunes Review

Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier may be a contender for the most sparkly indie pop of the year. Merely a duo, these two Philly-based artists make music that sounds like pinwheels of light bouncing in a kaleidoscope, or like the sound air might make as it navigates through the astral plane. Jon Bartmus and Patrick Marceill are also known for their remix work with artists like Caribou and Delorean, but this, their first full-length release of original material, may put their remix career on the back burner. If at first the songs elude your grasp (they’re not big on verse/chorus/verse), listen again to the stealthy wind-up of  “Oh, Naoko,” or try to resist the warm, inviting cocoon that is “Infinity,” or the nimble, circling spell cast by “Waiting On You.” Barthmus’ voice is easy and friendly — a bit like Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig — leading the music away from sweet and twee to elegant, glinting pop, ready for prime time.

Breath of Fresh Air

Sun Airway's debut album is really one of the few new and original electronic albums out right now. Fans of Animal Collective, Yeasayer, Thom Yorke, Postal Service, etc will find a new niche in "Nocturne." At a time when so many new bands are simply repeating old and worn chord progressions and production, Sun Airway has found a new voice to enjoy on many different levels (I dare you not to dance to "American West," or to smile on "Shared Piano.") "Oh, Naoko" is one of the best new songs this year.
Buy it, and pat yourself on the back for finding a new and promising band.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

So many layers to unfold,so much emotive fantasy,with allot of magic and obvious inspiration.Straight to the point of romance and ideals,this is one of the best albums this year and I guarantee passion pit will be big fans as I am,and I would list good tracks but I do believe each one was made with love!

Perfect!

This is an amazing combination of finely orchestrated music with unbelievably intelligent lyrics. I love everything about this band. Please never stop making music
