    The Coldspoon Conspiracy - 'Plays well with others' (Album reviews)

    "This 12 track masterpiece is a wonderful debut...a blissful mix of sonic treats that hits home with all the precision of an assassin's bullet...fresh and invigorating. This album is sure to play well in any circumstance"

    - Hot Press, www.hotpress.com.

    “The Coldspoon Conspiracy's sound could be said to range from American Analog Set to Tortoise, covering all territory in between as and when it suits them. They slide with ease between styles and have managed the nowadays daunting task of harnessing an accomplished and unique sound of their own.”

    – Alpha Relish, www.alpharelish.com.

    “like a quieter Fugazi…different textures and fragments pieced together with such an amazing precision, leaving partial quiet spaces in between gushing rock-outs…frighteningly good”

    – Eclectic Honey, www.eclectichoney.com.

    “an emotive lo-fi missive, rich in beguiling melodies and idiosyncratic touches…generally flawless…a fine record”

    – The Irish Times, www.ireland.com.

    "alarmingly accomplished…Plays Well With Others is a good showcase for the band's peculiarly twisted take on post-rock music, which shuns traditional song structures in favour of menacing guitar lines and violent rock-outs...highly intriguing, unusually visceral. This is a fascinating, worthy debut, which certainly deserves to be heard"

    - Entertainment Ireland, www.entertainment.ie.

    "This is my Irish album of the year...way more accessible than I would have thought possible. 'How Many T's in Bloodletting' is as good as any song I've heard from an Irish act in a long time. It would be a shame if the masses don't get to hear this"

    - The Spoke, NUI Maynooth College newspaper

    “an album that is at once completely contemporary and nostalgic in its references to bands like Pavement and Sebadoh, with sweet, clean guitars that dive unexpectedly into harsh, distorted interludes, all drawn along by Cannon’s taut vocals”

    – The Sunday Tribune, www.tribune.ie.

    "Plays Well With Others showcases a coming together of the two sides of this semi-schizophrenic Dublin outfit...endearingly upbeat, almost math-rock. Pat Cannons frail, distinctive voice and his weary, emotive lyrics add much constancy... no less exciting a prospect than Built To Spill or Harmacy-era Sebadoh. Ultimately this is a crisp, consistent and thoroughly enjoyable album, and a testament to a healthy and diverse Dublin music scene."

    - Frankthemonkey.com, www.frankthemonkey.com.

    "this album deserves its own little space and time in the post rock universe, showcasing as it does a softness that eludes many and a reluctance to get completely shackled to stop-start dynamics...crafts a beautifully intimate sound...the gentle vocals of Pat Cannon and clean guitar lines are what really stick - it should be titled 'Plays Better Than Most'."

    - RTE Entertainment, www.rte.ie/arts.
