Some nice things people have said about Argyle Johansen:
Argyle Johansen's self-titled LP dances circles at several genres. With influences in lo-fi, folk, blues, and even pop, it is almost next to impossible to characterize their sound. What IS important is that the album is an enjoyable experience. Argyle's composition on each track is alluring, paying painstaking detail to each unique instrumental piece. Lyrically, each song paints a story more vivid than most artists in the genre. These are the songs that got away from Sufjan Stevens.
-Deli Magazine



"Not quite folk, mostly-acoustic and all around great music, he'll sing you into a dream, and then wake you right back up again."

"(a) Light hearted stroll down a jagged cliff to hell"
-perfectporridge.com on "Sunny Day in Hell"



The ten-song electro/acoustic disc is consistently mellow with a laid-back 70's West Coast vibe. The songs are narrative stories that paint a lyrical picture of a particular place or point in time and the disc's mellow vibe hides lyrics that can be sometimes dark and off-kilter. Argyle Johansen is already getting some national attention as the song "Sunny Day In Hell" was included in Showtime's Californication.

"This album is a great addition to the folk pop world. The songs reflect soft melodic sounds of Belle and Sebastian. It is definitely a folk sound, but soft, poppy and accessible enough to pry a smile out of anyone who listens. Layered, full and warm production with instruments that take one or two listens to notice they add a different dynamic. Soft voice from Mr. Johansen, but he hits the notes that make his melodies warm and progressive."
-WLUR 91.5FM Lexington, VA



More of an alter-ego than a fully functioning band at times, Argyle Johansen is solely the product of not being capable of working well/playing nice with the other kids.
