“This year’s Halcyon Days LP seems as timeless and effortless as a Spoon record, with enough new wave bounce to make Elvis Costello smile.”

-Chart Attack

“If someone tells you they popped The Paper Cranes’ Halcyon Days into their stereo and did not immediately get wrapped up in the catchy melodies and driving percussion, that person is a liar, and you should break off all and any communication with him or her.”

- Scene and Heard

“Victoria’s the Paper Cranes are certainly ushering in a golden age. The band’s efforts to date have paid off, making them a vital part of Victoria’s 100-mile musical diet. Having toured and landed favourably in towns and cities all across Canada, the ripple effect can be seen in their growing fan base. The Crane’s latest release, Halcyon Days, finds the band in fine form, comfortable with their sound but expanding their horizons just enough to keep things exciting.”

- Exclaim

“If you’re not afraid to admit your favorite Cure song was “Love Cats”; if you think Paul Weller hasn’t written a classic song since “A Town Called Malice”; or if your favorite part of Funeral is the last minute of “Wake Up” where the Arcade Fire go all northern soul, then the Paper Cranes could be your new favorite band.”
