"Candysound‘s Past Lives is the sort of garage rock that seems born of good-natured experimentation, a genuine sense of joy in creation, and a dedication to writing catchy songs. This isn’t four-on-the-floor chord mashing–the trio makes lithe, lively, effervescent tracks full of rhythmic, melodic, and textural diversity." -Independent Clauses
"The American trio play a bouncy style of alternative indie pop that makes Past Lives the perfect soundtrack to your summer. Alongside some lovely clean cut electric guitar riffs, there's even a nice acoustic number thrown in for good measure." -11 is Louder Than 10
"The band's songwriting is top notch; they get pop and rock and the mingling of the two better than most, and the recording quality and production choices reflect that on this album." -What's Up! Magazine
