"A billowy pop blanket in which to curl up and forget everything that isn't as sweet." PITCHFORK MEDIA
".glumly swaying rhythms, big storm clouds of guitar and spookily angelic voices." THE NEW YORK TIMES
"On! Air! Library! mesmerize with steamy somniferous vibes that tranquilize instead of torment. The trio is also more interested infiltrating the mind, not the wardrobe, as they interweave nine delicately rendered, ethereal compositions that haunt with the caressing touch of a Sofia Coppola film." ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"This New York trio has created a singular and fascinating territory filled with low distortions, queasy keyboards, programming, layers of sound (the bands television and answering machine are heard throughout), and disjointed harmonies. If you took early Brian Eno and filtered it through the 4AD blender you might come close to the result. There are hints of dream pop, shoegazer and ambient pop, but never enough to seem derivative." SKYSCRAPER
".Gorgeous and simple it will make you long for every ex you've ever broken up with." JANE MAGAZINE
"On! Air! Library! is a little like reading a choose-your-adventure book-it can be interpreted however you wish, and you'll want to stay with it from cover to cover." NYLON
"Haunting, atmospheric, melodic, entrancing, and dreamy."
GHETTOBLASTER
"On the bands self-titled Arena Rock Recording Company debut, they take white noise and shake it up with hauntingly exquisite vocals and post-modernize it with samples and keyboards. That's what is unique about On! Air! Library! It's not the so- called novelty of the twins or any kind of fashion self- consciousness. Even their name deconstructed shouts about something that's very different." FLAUNT
"A beautiful new full-length from lovely locals On!Air!Library!, this record's haunting atmospherics and druggy pop should launch them to a much wider audience. Their label's bio boldly positions O!A!L! as a band with no precedent, ignoring the retro fads so many NYC bands are caught up in and looking boldly to the future. But our ears hear strong traces of the dark early period of the Cocteau Twins, the Pale Saints and the like, albeit updated a bit (a la Ulrich Schnauss). Hazy, hallucinatory and truly disorienting at times, these sound experiments are anchored by the edgy harmonies of the Deheza sisters, as they precariously keep one foot in the pop world and one in the drone. And when you think you've pinned them down, the album turns to a more intimate, quieter acoustic approach, creating spidery song outlines that contrast the earlier dense soundscapes, but evoke a similar moodiness. Appealing to fans of dreamy pop, pop-ambience and shoegazey electronica, this is an original and confident album well worth a listen" OTHER MUSIC
"A soothing mixture of subtle atmospheric swirls of guitar and synths. The first great surprise of 2004." THE JERSEY BEAT
".Three librarians know that soft, dreamy, electronic-touched pop can still have songs, rich melodies, and some intent no matter how ethereal." TIME OUT NY
"O!A!L! play atmospheric ballads the way a strobe light would perform them. But the calm moments of the strobe , when darkness prevails, tend to show up most often" DIW
"A moody diversion from typical rock fare" ROCKPILE
"Heart-poking melodies and precisely mirrored electronic and organic elements" THE PORTLAND MERCURY
"One of the most interesting experimental pop bands playing today" SWINGSET
"Moody, swirling, cinematic-sounding songs that are at once ambient and melodic and percussive and are perfect for bedroom listening." SUP
"Romantic, creepy, timeless songs that don't depend on their experimental atmosphere, yet are truly enriched by the effort." BANDOPPLER
