    We're fans of Thorburn's day job, too, but this actually wins out when it comes to Sunday relaxation tunes. [Oct 2008, p.153]
  3. It is nice to hear a pop record like Moody Motorcycle, not just to wind down the summer, but to combat some other indie rock trends.
  4. Moody Motorcycle is a deft reappropriation and re-imagining of the harmonic pop of the Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
  5. While enduring a few accidents, the group’s fresh folk approach shows promise.
