"They’ve captured quite a mesmerizing sound. One that separates them from so many of the washed out sounds of other bands"
-Lydia Nicolena's Guide To Music
"Bringing local music to a new level"
-Tito McGee (Iowa's Finest Music)
"The setup involved a bewilderingly complex array of electronics, and the sound was closer to the dark, reverb-drenched synth-pop of Joy Division, New Order and other bands on the U.K.'s iconic Factory Records label. Snippets of spoken-word chatter filled in between songs, also bringing to mind my beloved Saint Etienne. Frontman Gregory Goode's dramatic vocals have a bit of the flair of yet another gifted Brit, Morrissey"
- Marc Hogan (of Pitchfork and Des Noise)
describing Golden Veins first show.
"Golden Veins sound like Sun Ra and Sinead O’Conner, cranked out of their minds on cough syrup and banana peel blunts, beating the stuffing out of Morrissey in a dark alley while humming La Marseilles to themselves"
- Adam Senecaut (Best Place Ever)
