"It's pretty representative of the band's sound-- clattering polyrhythms, sing-along harmonies, spare electronics, and some African guitar trills that place the band squarely along the latter-day AnCo/Yeasayer axis." -Pitchfork
"tribal tunes built upon yelps, nature sounds, and clattering rhythms, Chicago’s psych quartet YAWN have garnered almost unanimous comparisons to Animal Collective and Yeasayer." - Stereogum
"With a bit of a tribal vibe, a simple, repetitive beat and a soft round of vocals, we just can't get enough of this song [Kind Of Guy]." - NME
"sparkly electro-pop perfect for remixing." - Chicago Reader
"The EP is full of shoegazey, garage rock, minimal psychedelic gems. It refuses to leave my playlist and is there to stay for a bit." - Big Stereo
"They sound different than anything else in Chicago right now.... 9 out of 10 on the fun factor scale" - Chicago Tribune
“lively and slightly tribal, and hardly soporific." - QRO Magazine
"But one thing with this crazy, all-over-the-place sound, is that it is hard to do it and make good, solid songs at the same time. Yet, I think YAWN has figure out the secret recipe. You will know what I mean when you hear Kind of Guy, that song is a certified jam!" - Audio Muffin
“YAWN’s key to success is in knowing how to share a fun time and not merely flaunt it.” - Beat Crave
“YAWN have the particular talent it takes to combine indie-pop fundamentals...into music that hangs together organically” - Chicago Reader
