“QUOTES”
“It’s impressive how Dark Mean blend strong lyrical imagery with music that grows so organically. If Dark Mean ever put together a full LP his band would blow up to be as big an internet sensation as the xx.” - High Romance
“The EP’s four tracks are all excellent, ranging from the infectious folk-pop of “Happy Banjo”, to the dark-yet-dance-y “frankencottage”, to the gospel-y singalong of “Lullaby”, to the sweeping, piano-driven “China”. ” - Baby, You Got A Stew Goin’
“#6 EP of The Year” -Herohill
“It’s kind of pop, and kind of folk, and kind of reminds you that Canada is THE place for indie music.” - Impressionable Youth
”Frankencottage is an eclectic hodgepodge of folk rock, electonic elements, and pop weaving together seamlessly to create an intoxicating blend that will have you nodding your head uncontrollably. Highly recommended.” - Captain Obvious
”Overall it is an amazing album, probably one of the best of the year.” - Aw Music
“You only need to know that headphones, four minutes and 22 seconds and a love for pretty pop songs are all you need to see that this is a talented bunch.” - Side One: Track One
“Each song on this EP is a breath of fresh air!” - Vinyl Meltdown
“The richness in sound and the general avoidance of shifting trends allows complete focus and imaginative storytelling… I probably bored a few people with constant recommendation.” - Mojophenia
”Their consistent sincerity stands like a flag-pole in the centre of their sound, and different instruments and arrangements merely swirl around this focal point, making it flap in a different way with each song. The only thing I’m disappointed about is the fact that Dark Mean still haven’t released a full-length album. Let’s hope that happens soon.” - The Mad Ones
“Mixing an indie-pop sensibility for melody with a wilfully experimental take on the use of instrumentation, this band have not yet ceased to amaze or confound me and I cannot wait to hear more. And more. And more.” - Music From A Green Window
