	press "With Life Embarrasses Me On Planet Earth, Seventeen Evergreen bring an intriguing new slant to Eno's notion of "nostalgia for the future" “The album's other-worldliness recalls Midlake's Trials of Van Occupanther, only with the time-machine set for the future rather than the past." - 4/5 stars The Independent UK "Seventeen Evergreen bridge Pavement and AIR via Flaming Lips and Grandaddy to Sculpt pulsating sonic organisims that touchdown on genius. Abject brilliance." -Total Spec UK "Lunar One, the pastoral title track of their forthcoming EP, could be Radiohead's "High And Dry" for the new millennium." -4/5 stars The Independent UK "It’s great. I particularly draw your attention to the genius of opener Music is the wine, worthey of Lee Hazlewood and Leonard Cohen. The rest is dreamy, quirky, croaky-voices, mildly smacked-out arty slacker rock somewhere between Grandaddy and Pavement." -Sunday Telegraph UK "Mixing rock and electronics, they mine the same louche, spectral box of ballads as Air, early 1970s Pink Floyd ( Haven’t Been Yourself could have come straight from the latter’s Live at Pompeii) and Sparklehorse, but with a definitive West Coast twist that suggests hallucinogens ingested under desert skies." -The Times UK "An ethereal release that sucks in Pink Floyd and Boards Of Canada and features some haunting strings that drift in and out of the healing fields vocals like some gently swaying washing on the line." -New Noise "this EP made a nice warm glow come all over me anyway. 'Lunar One' is an expansive slice of downtempo alt rock that shares blood with distant relatives like Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips. There's a nice stately Floydian tempo, some spacey keyboard washes and vocals that remain both languid yet endearingly heartfelt." -CMU Daily "Overall an encouraging set of tracks from a band looking to offer something different both in theme and music." -Gigwise "Everything about this debut release from San Francisco's Seventeen Evergreen says critical acclaim." -Chord Magazine "From falsetto vocals and organic plucking to IDM breakdowns and washes of electronic bliss, this duo seems to know where to find this generation's heartstrings, the aural stratosphere. Most could find something to enjoy here" -Slug Magazine "San Francisco based Seventeen Evergreen emerge as a force to be rec k oned with in the world of ethereal electronic based rock, Life Embarrasses Me On Planet Earth is the kind of record you could just listen to hours on end ― especially in solitude or a rainy day. Highly Recommended." -Echo Magazine Seventeen Evergreen combine acoustic instrumentation with futuristic electronica in a dramatic composition of delicate flowing sound. The result is a unique masterpiece with such vitality you can almost physically feel each song, . ..they are filled with such celestial beauty that you feel yourself transported to a higher realm, a place that, after the ninth song has ended, you don't want to leave." -performer magazine "I struggled over which song to post, just because they're all so good, but this one would be my pick for a single and I can safely say that 'Music Is The Wine' is one of the best songs you will hear this year." "The album is exceptional, and is definitely one of the best debuts I've heard this year." -GorillaVsBear.net
