"Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory is a Portland, Oregon band
that sound a bit like The Beatles, and even more like solo John Lennon.
Nice guitar combos...
Shed your fears of cassettes and the lo-fi sound
because there are some excellent bands to check out on these comps...
from Best Kept Secret, one of the best purveyors of lo-fi talent around."

"Best Kept Secret is a prolific and highly recommended tape label
that specialises in indiepop and other melodic music.
We Are Not Alone is an ongoing series of compilation tapes...
Appearing on this volume are Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory...
who are just as atmospheric as a shoegazer band,
but aren't shoegazer as such, more psychedelic."

"These are people who make music because they want to,
because they have to,
not because they think they can become rich and famous from it.
A phony ideal of 'perfection' isn't worth striving after...
it's about people creating.
The music is rock, ambient, electronic, pop and more;
it's by musicians from all over the world.
What they have in common, besides a DIY attitude,
is a knack at using music to capture beauty.
'Doppler' by Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory:
Fuzz-guitar meets laidback melody for a slightly psychedelic,
relaxed reaching towards the sublime,
with near-falsetto vocals and an intense crescendo toward the end."

"Tapes I have the luck to have received state on the cover
Songs For The Lo-Fi Generation.
The Best Kept Secret is an Italian, tape-label.
And moreover, pictures are clear (yes?): aliens.
More often for your musical tastes you have to feel an alien.
But, as it writes and proves here, We're Not Alone!
How beautiful.
What can I add more?
This label is an indie pearl, non profit-promotrice."

"Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory provides an aural experience
that's ripe for interstellar space-rock travel;
you're invited to listen as the band strums itself into orbit...
Overall, this cassette-only release is extremely inspiring...
The medium may not be very accessible in today's digital world,
but the music here is worth the trouble it will take to obtain your own copy."

"Dream-pop is alive and well, as this intoxicating comp makes clear.
Lifting off... the second in a (best kept) secret series
sets its control for the heart of the sun and arrives in record time.
An international crew is aboard...
Take off your helmet and breathe deeply."
