Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.81

"Shrimp Boat made only minor waves in their time, but what they helped to start in Chicago, and left behind, is strangely grand."

Magnet - p.91

"[O]ne of the most hip-shaking indie groups of the past two decades."

The Wire - p.65

"SOMETHING GRAND is a comprehensive, beautifully presented anthology of Shrimp Boat's eight year development..."

CMJ - p.5

"[P]lucky, skronky, ramshackle, skittering pop....Yes, there was a time when 'indie rock' wasn't always such a self-obsessed yawn and these CDs are a glorious reminder."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.101

4 stars out of 5 - "SOMETHING GRAND reveals a band not so much ahead of the herd as way beyond it, trying everything from left-field experimentation to hoe-down circle dances; playfully following their own rules and still dazzling over a decade later."
