BUZZ BANDS LA - KEVIN BRONSON

"'Happiness'... piles on the synth textures, combining the percolating romanticism of the '80s with the agit-pop and electro-funk of today."


LA WEEKLY MUSIC PICK - PAUL ROGERS

"Bastard sons of Billy Ocean, this local trio put android electro drums, textured monophonic synths and frantic Nile Rodgers guitars to work in the cause of wild dance and mild trance. While their oft machine-generated, achingly '80s tones can be indoorsy and decidedly urban, the wistful melodies channel carefree country bike rides, pre-punk optimism and pre-complications love affairs... Greenhorse are more about fun than fashion and they have the tunes to transcend trends."


THE DELI MAGAZINE - MARGARET CASTELLANOS

"Greenhorse delivers nothing but audacious electronic coated pop ear candy... The duo's kaleidoscope effect, reminiscent of M83's smooth vocals and MGMT's playful psychedelic pop, is fresh and enchanting."


NME

"Greenhorse's sound is compared to MGMT, Duran Duran, Suicide, Salem, and Prince."


OREGON PUBLIC BROADCASTING - DAVE CUSICK

"At the end of Back to the Future, Doc Brown emerges from the DeLorean, fresh from the year 2015, wearing sunglasses nearly identical to the ones worn by the drummer in L.A. three-piece Greenhorse. But it's the lead singer who comes off as the mad scientist; his wild curls bob around as he hovers, alternating from microphone to Radio Shack-brand Moog to sampler to drum machine to megaphone. This will be on more than a few people's iPods as they hoverboard down the sidewalk in 2015."


LARGE HEARTED BOY: BOOK NOTES - BONNIE NADZAM

"It's gritty. The sound itself is like a hard, whispering echo, but not that of a deluded person, rather, of a person waking up."


LA WEEKLY MUSIC PICK - PAUL ROGERS

"Greenhorse makes hedonistic yet oddly wistful electro-pop that manages to maximize booty shakin' without marginalizing melody... Saucy synths, 'Blue Monday' beatboxes, sheens of guitar, and sometimes androgynous voices revisit Duran Duran, Howard Jones, and The Human League - and thus rub shoulders with MGMT."


INDIEVILLE - MICHAEL TAU

"...a positively blissful bit of synth-pop...which titillates from verse to chorus, accompanied by wistful synthesizer waves which exude a terrific summer vibe. 'Hot Nights' is exuberant and funky... this band is worth a look for 'Buried' alone."


TASTY MAGAZINE - SHAVE BLANCHARD

"This is high energy electro-pop. Think MGMT and you won't be far wrong... they are very, very good. This is polished stuff and climaxes nicely with the glorious breakbeats and cascading vocal melodies of 'Psycho Somatica.'"


LEONARD'S LAIR - JONATHAN LEONARD

"...contained on their first release are five gems with designs on your heart. Transcontinental... is - on the whole - rather glorious."


INDIES AND THE UNDERGROUND - KEVIN NEIL

"Greenhorse craft a sophisticated, cosmopolitan brand of energetic electro-pop... the music retains its emotional punch while still being devilishly danceable..."
