"Happily for the Missouri band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, it's still riding a wave of phase-one support that's allowed the winning debut album Broom to go from self-released Internet buzz-object to properly distributed album. Filled with ambitious lo-fi pop, Broom drags '60s jangle and hooks down the same twisty path followed by Pavement and the friendlier Elephant 6 acts.” -The A.V. Club
VINYL: 180-gram Clear Gold
"This Missouri band's music is so plainly likable that they should consider running for public office -- even the off-putting name wouldn't deter any voters who appreciate the shy prettiness of the Shins and the sweeter, least brash moments of the New Pornographers. In fact, you might easily mistake the tuneful melancholy of "Think I Wanna Die" for the latter and the foggy, low-key "Glue Girls" for the former, and that's fine. SSLYBY don't want to cause a ruckus; they'll sway you by thawing hearts and inspiring satisfied nods.” -SPIN
VINYL: 180-gram Black
"On first listen to their new album, Let It Sway, SSLYBY sound like they're done fucking around in the minor leagues, newly invigorated after the 2008's innocuous Pershing. "Back in the Saddle" backs up the mission-statement intent of its title, a sturdy foundation of anthemic guitars both folky and power chord-driven, support a carousel of alternate-reality radio melodies. The song actually demands to be heard, as does the the effortless "Sink/Let It Sway" and the infectious, huge "na na na" chorus on "Banned (By the Man)"." - Pitchfork
VINYL: 180-gram Coke Bottle Clear
"It’s a return to what SSLYBY have always done best: that is, being the greasy kids next door who write the sweetest, most shambolic love songs. In the years passed between Broom and now, they may have dabbled in more innocuous pop punk-derived indie, but it was always the more dilapidated moments on Pershing (‘Heers’) and Let It Sway (‘Stuart Gets Lost Dans Le Metro’) that resonated most resoundingly.” -The Line of Best Fit
VINYL: 2xLP 180-gram Black
"SLYBY are an easy band to like. There’s something charmingly homespun about their brand of indie-pop, all fragile vocals and lilting melodies in the early days, and more polished, straight on pop-rock later in their career. There’s also an exuberant bashfulness to their delivery, something sly and off-the-cuff that indicates that maybe they’ve always got something up their sleeves. But aside from crafting three fine albums, they’ve been prolific songwriters over the years, and Tape Club offers a glimpse into some of their inner workings.” -Music OMH
