Rob Lynch: "Welcome to Sound"
This double disc set is so good it scares me. Lynch, a longtime member of the Buffalo scene whose drumming has fueled bands such as the Contortionists and Numoniker, reveals himself to be a stunning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer throughout the 25 songs that comprise "Welcome to Sound." Elements of the Flaming Lips, Soul Coughing and "White Album" era Beatles are in abundance, but their influence is subtle. Lynch bends the music he has absorbed to his rather twisted will, and the result is one of the most startlingly unique recordings this writer has ever heard. Bizarre, found sounds butt up against melodically detailed, pop infused gems; stark, haunting, cinematic soundscapes blend with Wilco-esque pop-Americana; Filtered and effected vocals fail to consume the emotional, deeply musical cores of these songs. This isn't just one of the best Buffalo albums of the past year, it's one of the best, period. Stunning.

Brilliante! Amazing sounds and memorable melodies

instantly likeable, long term loveable
author: M. Perkins
While the songs are diverse in character (you won't get bored), they are united by seductive melodies and finely detailed production. It's music you like the first time you hear it, and grow to love as you find yourself playing it again and again.
