Loquat

"Don't look now, but Secrets of the Sea just might bridge the gap between generational record collections. A.V. Club Rating: A-"
- The Onion



"Sugary, sultry vocals from Kylee Swenson were wrapped around bouncy basslines and shimmering guitars, a bit like Rilo Kiley at the more melodic, singalong points or Cat Power in a few soaring, emotion-soaked moments. The overall effect was mellow and easy to swallow — smooth, radio friendly hooks and warm grooves."
- SPIN
"Sometimes it's nice to just press play and daydream while the world crashes around you. Loquat is very helpful that way."
- Wired
"In a genre marred by overproduction and, sometimes, a lack of imagination, Loquat is not only wonderfully organic but refreshingly inventive."
- Nylon
"Swenson's voice soars like Sarah McLachlan, but her lyrics cut like Cat Power."
- URB
"Lots of bands mix electronic and acoustic instruments, but few pull it off with the grace—or even the shimmering melodies—exhibited by this San Francisco group fronted by Kylee Swenson."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"Moving electro-pop [that] slides and seduces from the first note through the hushed and haunting vocals that drive each song."
- Big Takeover
"Loquat's sophomore release, Secrets of the Sea, is proof to ADD-afflicted music lovers that good things do sometimes come to those who wait."
- SF Weekly
"Considering all the blood, sweat and tears that went into it, it's no surprise that Secrets of the Sea magnificently transcends both its lyrics and instrumentation to make for one powerful listening experience."
- West Coast Performer
"The debut full-length from this San Francisco five-piece is a masterful work of female-fronted electronic pop that seems utterly unconcerned with trend. It's Yours to Keep is the kind of album that makes the world around you slow down."
- Under the Radar
"It's Yours to Keep is a carefully pasted together creation, an audio collage that is not to be missed."
- Venus
"Loquat's debut full-length album, It's Yours to Keep, may just be the most beautiful thing you've ever heard."
- The Examiner
"Secrets of the Sea is a secret worth telling; one that is sure to spread the name Loquat across the national landscape."
