"Wy'east Can't Sleep opens with the sound of a guitar
gracefully breaking through the atmosphere with a beautiful melody...
the tape carries through from that point into a series of songs
that play up the group's pretty, psych-folk side.
Their sound here lies somewhere between Bowie's Hunky Dory
and Nick Drake; it's moving further into space yet is also pastoral, still.

Wy'east also pushes their lyrics further into psychedelia,
as on one of the highlights, the enigmatic 'Buster Crabbe's Circus,'
which has great eccentric lyrics like 'Snowcone rockets poison you.'
Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory create galaxies which feel like home,
even as they seem like far-off dreams."

"With songs from Wy'east Can't Sleep...
they sound more and more like skilled creators
of certain lysergical as well as soft atmospheres,
thanks to a range of impressive ballads.

Songs are immersed in suggestive space scenographies,
full of interstellar reverbs,
but also well chained within a songwriter formula.
Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory are some amazing creative calligraphists."

"The title track opens the set and is a beautiful intro that recalls the best of 60s psychedelia...
'Skunk Works Stomp' is a standout tune and I like the effect that little doses of dissonance give.
'Verbenagurl' is a haunting psych song with the vocal melody having that John Lennon quality,
but accompanied by freaky atmospherics and dashes of noise.
And how can you not love a song called 'Buster Crabbe's Circus'?

Side two features a group of stylistically similar songs for the head,
many having a drugged Beatles feel...
The closing track, 'Dumb Questions' is one of my favorites
and one of those songs that make it a near certainty
that Klopfenstein is heavily influenced by Lennon...
Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory have impressive songwriter skills,
which they channel through a pop-psych sensibility of epic lo-fi proportions."
