Reviews:

Feelin' Alive... is one of the best releases to come out of San Diego since the Castanets’ Cathedral. Peppier and busier than Samuel Beam’s material, the songs are closer to Sufjan Stevens’ busy compositions and nearly as masterful as Black Heart Procession when it comes to off-kilter vocals that sound not quite of this earth.

- San Diego City Beat

Folksy blues and country-flecked rock haven't sounded this good since Gram Parsons or modern day heroes Wilco.

- Smother.net

...extraordinarily heartfelt in exploration of the slightly darker side of human relations.

- Impact Press

If this is indeed the Vision of a Dying World, then bring on the Apocalypse! Feelin Alive is a quiet, acoustic, folksy CD that is so beautiful it feels like a sunny morning with no clouds and a bright sun rising in the east.

- Reviewer Magazine

Full of quaint contradictions, Feelin' Alive is cheerfully sad, darkly funny, and strangely catchy...

- Bee's Blood Zine

Within the last year three artists have stepped out to create their own form of what the world of music will become: Sufjan Stevens..., Sam Beam of Iron and Wine..., and Wilco. Mix these guys up in a blender and you get a band who should be on a major label... Ladies and Gentlemen i give you The Vision of a Dying World.
