" Highland Park's Seasons really pile on the shimmering keyboards, fuzz-heavy guitars, saturated synths, loads of effects pedals and an occasional beating laptop, accordion or harmonica riffing in the background. Their sound is full and showy, building up to great heights then lilting low into soft, cuddly breakdowns. These guys are true sentimentalists, with their Christmas lights strewn on the stage and "I Heart Highland Park" stickers on their gear, hints of late nights listening to the Cure and the Beatles' love songs over and over again are evident in their work.They've played around town a ton and made a place for themselves on several "band to watch" lists. " -- Wendy Gilmartin [LA Weekly]
" Seasons are the hardest band to quantify in Los Angeles. They have the intellectual curiosity, whimsy, and thoughtfulness of aughty indie rock in the vein of The Arcade Fire. I've seen them three times and never left feeling anything other than "Jesus. Whoa. I think if The Arcade Fire are too cathartic for you, if you find the Flaming Lips too indulgent (oh, I do), and if you're really just an indie rock guy at heart but you need something more creatively fullfilling than the Pavement / early R.E.M. formulas, then Seasons might just be the band for you. " -- Mouse [Classical Geek Theatre]
" Brilliant! On stage these guys represent exactly the aesthetic an independent music community should be emphasizing. " -- John Hershfield [www.ISGOODMUSIC.com]
" I don't know how to describe Seasons except that their music defies easy categorization. I wasn't prepared for the writing skill and the variety of instrumental arrangements. Some songs were guitar-based, others were piano-based, some even tambourine-heavy. This band definitely goes on my list of locals never to be missed. " -- Brad [Feed Your Head]
" Seasons played a strong set, and featured a handful of tunes that was catchy, whimsical rock reminiscent of yesteryear. “Real Dreams” was one of my favorite songs of their set. It was an infectious rock ballad with melodic layering like that of the Beach Boys. " -- Jackie Lam [Radio Free Silverlake]
" In the last year, Highland Park's Seasons has become one of the more ubiquitous bands in the L.A. scene. Their sound is a pure product of their influences, a fusion of indie rock, 80's synth, folk rock, and garage blues -- so if you're thinking Beck, you're in the right neighborhood. " -- [LA Underground]
" The Highland Park assemblage known as Seasons are a glorious mess.The seven- or (sometimes) eight-piece makes lovingly off-kilter neo-psychedelia full of palpable energy and exposed nerves, startlingly pretty one moment and earplug-worthy cacophonous the next. When these guys nail it they are calamitously good. " -- Kevin Bronson [Buzzbands]
" Seasons took the stage around 10 p.m. Right away I knew this band would not fit into a box or category, which automatically caused me to fall madly in love with their music. Bold, unique, and incredibly smart were my first thoughts as their set progressed. Each song seemed to build off the next, like some sort of beautiful masterpiece. When Seasons’ set came to an end, I felt that only 5 minutes had passed. I wanted more. Immediately, I rushed to my car in search for enough money to purchase an EP. Basically, Seasons is better than good. I suggest everyone catch Seasons as many times as possible. They’re just going to keep getting better, and eventually it will be damn near impossible to get tickets to see them play. " -- Rian Borland [I Promote Good Bands]
" I love Seasons. Music with true feeling still exist! " -- Jeff Davies [The Brian Jonestown Massacre]
" Oh man, these guys curated a show here in August… the hottest day of the year… it became the hottest musical night of the year as well. This is like a frickin' think tank of amazing music, a commune of sonic community. " -- Grant [The Echo Curio]
" With Summer, Seasons has–for the most part–gathered together a sonically cohesive batch of songs that belong together, speaking to each other in a language of ethereal psych-pop punctuated by ragged blasts of howling vocals and dissonant guitars. I’ve heard their live show on several occasions now, and each time it seems as if they’re comprised of four or five separate bands, ranging from a twinkling and gentle electronica outfit to a noise-swelled punk act to a jam-band pop group."Summer" lives up to its name, distilling a Season(s) down to a (fairly) singular mood and tone, channeling the band’s music into a warm–and occasionally blistering–cocktail of sound that no longer sounds disjointed, but simply wildly adventurous. " -- Travis Woods [Web In Front]
" Last night, Seasons made the sound of asses getting kicked. " -- Fol Chen
