!!!!! TITLE TRACK MUSIC VIDEO !!!!!
!!!!! "TEA LEAVES" MUSIC VIDEO !!!!
"...lush, subtly textured mini-symphonies of pop abandon."
-Jennifer Kelly, PopMatters
"Assured and evocative stylists of sound. "
-Doug Mosurock, Dusted
"If Songs The Animals Taught Us impressed you, We Were Enchanted will turn your head into a cloud of sparks and gold dust."
-Filmore Mescalito Holmes, Tiny Mix Tapes
"...a wonderfully complete, intricate album..."
-Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
"When Lambert and the band sing 'We’re all real tired of the shitty stuff,' the words seem to sum up their determination to survive and even be happy in a hopelessly messed-up world, pursuing the kind of modest, local, cooperative effort that’s helped Roommate flourish".
-Miles Raymer, Chicago Reader
Roommate is at its best here, exploring weighty subjects about the times in which we live, but completely avoiding condescension.
-Jennfer Marston, XLR8R
