Editorial Reviews
[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.
CMJ
SOMETHING GRAND is a comprehensive, beautifully presented anthology of Shrimp Boat's eight year development...
The Wire
[O]ne of the most hip-shaking indie groups of the past two decades.
Magnet
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.
Mojo
Shrimp Boat made only minor waves in their time, but what they helped to start in Chicago, and left behind, is strangely grand.
