URB - "A true genre-twisted party album that appropriately captures the sounds of an eclectic America."


ALTERNATIVE PRESS - 5 out of 5. "Gorgeous pop melodies with electronica bleeps."


REMIX - "Random Portraits is a beautiful pop album that pays personal homage to the past but has one eye on the future."

MAGNET - "Sonic Youth guitar treatments upon Stereolab keyboards on top of Primal Scream-style vocal loops....a well-edited scrapbook of retro-futurism."


KEXP -"Quite possibly the best release out of the Northwest this year."


THE STRANGER - "Infectious songs filigreed with the sort of vintage synth frippery that gives Tape Op readers sweaty palms."


LOS ANGELES TIMES Buzz Bands - "A sonic tapestry."


LONDON TIMES - "Great debut album."


SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN - (Pick of the Week) "Think Pinback's melodic tonalities with guitar treatments by Brian Eno. HLAK's live shows are an aural-erotic experience."


NEW YORK POST - "Intriguing... groovy pop album."


ALL MUSIC GUIDE - "This is one of those rare albums that is both immediately accessible and strangely thought-provoking at the same time. Highly recommended."


EAST BAY EXPRESS - "Pure pop majesty... this collage of retro memories, wispy Dinosaur Jr. hooks, and indie electropop works without a hitch."


BEAUTIFUL DECAY - "This album is an experience to enjoy."
