Will Butler Policy [Digipak]

3 stars out of 5 -- "[P]layful, a montage of impulses -- crunchy rock, apocalyptic electro-disco, solo-John Lennon balladry -- that come like whiplash."
"This record's like a charming stroll through a garden maze with ludicrous traps and surprises around each hedge, dashing lyrical expectations aside and plumbing emotionally fraught harmonies in the same breath"
"Butler uses a broad variety of styles -- classic garage rock'n'roll, new wave, lounge balladry, electric '70s funk, synth-pop -- to deliver eight edge-of-darkness diktats in that confrontational Arcade Fire snarl..."
Paste (magazine) - "[E]very song is a look backward to the alternative strains of rock and roll that'll get you on your feet and shaking like a maniac."
Pitchfork (Website) - "At its most inspired, POLICY resembles a screwball musical adaptation of John Lennon's lost weekend."
Clash (Magazine) - "POLICY clocks-in at under 30 minutes, and adopts a rough-around-the edges, garage-band quality in contrast to Arcade Fire's sprawling, orchestral anthems."
