'False Lights' reviews

"...Infinitely hummable and as welcoming as an old comfy chair, False Lights is saturated with a warmth and intimacy that borders on narcotic." — Sunrise Ocean Bender

"...tracks feature generous dollops of Beatles/Barrett whimsy, Robyn Hitchockian quirkiness, wacky production embellishments, and Anton Barbeau-styled technicoloured tomfoolery with surreal lyrics involving squids, goldfish, piranhas, Sid Vicious, Nagasaki, the Gestapo, 'Halloween People,' and psychological 'Monsters of The Id.' " — Shindig magazine, June 2013

"...Songwriter Nathan Hall's lyrics poke fun at modern mores and are at times funny, occasionally beguiling, but always memorable. His deadpan delivery doesn't mask the fact that he actually writes some rather ace and catchy tunes." — Harmonic Distortion

"...'FALSE LIGHTS' should carry with it a warning from the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) simply because the melodies that the scientists produce attach themselves to your cranium and require surgery to remove (you have been warned!)" — Box of Dreams

"This album is full of twists and turns with ideas that are just waiting to be turned into insane cartoons that we’ll all laugh at in forty years." — Plastik magazine

"...These words are not necessarily made to nestle comfortably into the music. They are unashamedly fanciful, observant and playful." — The Miniature Music Magazine

"...it is more social comment than protest, a gentle prod swathed in psychedelic finery..." — The Terrascope (scroll down)

"'False Lights' sees the Soft Hearted Scientists exploiting their pop smarts to the max and pound for pound, I'd say it's their most concise, hook laden effort so far - which is saying something." — The Active Listener
