Guster has quietly become a very good pop band. And something more. Over the past ten-plus years they've been slowly honing their craft,building their fan base and making records that are unprepossessing but more and more compelling.Ganging Up on the Sun just might be their best work yet. It certainly is their richest sounding record: the guitars are perfectly layered;the vocals warm and inviting, with sun-kissed harmonies on nearly every track; the songs filled with bubbling keyboards, twangingbanjos, and all kinds of sonic embellishment.Indeed at their best, which is where they operate throughout Ganging Up on the Sun, Guster has the same qualities that the best Amer-indiebands do: total commitment emotionally and musically. Any fan of low-key, perfectly constructed, hooky, and honest guitar pop would bewise to check out Guster. Ganging Up on the Sun is the work of a band who matters."Guster's fifth album might be their breakthrough." - New York Post"Angst has rarely sounded sweeter than it does on Ganging Up on the Sun, which swirls with classic vocal harmonies, vintage organsand lightly strummed guitars." - New York Times"Like The Beatles and The Kinks, these college rockers have graduated beyond the simple catchiness of their early work. But their appealstays the same: Well constructed, well-performed pop tunes that aren't afraid to be both smart and hummable." - Associated Press
