the Sweater Girls jingle lingo by Jackson Main Brock Press; Nov. 25, 1999
First thing is first -- The Sweater Girls are not girls at all, so if you were looking for a chick indie band you bought the wrong album. However, this is certainly no reason not to buy this album -- if you're an indie fan this definitely should have a place on your CD rack. Like most indie bands there is nothing fancy and not a lot of distortion, but that's the way we all like indie to be, and these guys have a great sound that will have you tappin' your toes. The best track is definitely "The French Have Conceded Defeat." It's a real toe-tapper and it's the kind of tune that you listen to over and over and puts a good feeling in you. The guitars are almost trance-like and float through the songs like they were drunk, they have a good tone and a great sound. If you agree that Pavement and Weezer are a couple of the best bands ever to grace the music world, you should go and get this album today get stoned and listen to this album all day in your parents basement. (Bucolic)
The St. Catharines Standard: Christopher Waters, Out There, Jan. 21, 2000 "Local indie rock sensations, The Sweater Girls...always deliver a scrappy set of songs propelled by tongue-in-cheek witticism and uptempo guitar rave-ups."
