Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord Is Dead Do Make Say Think

"A moving sense of dramatic isolation is felt as the song-cycle of Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord is Dead unfolds. Each chord is a step forward, each outburst a cathartic cry to the domineering starry sky. Do Make Say Think have imbued their second album with such a strong sense of purpose and an indefatigable belief in their characteristic sound that comparisons become largely irrelevant. That they succeed so well on their own terms without weighing their music down with tired post-rock clichés makes their work that much more compelling." – Pitchfork

"Stunning… [S]ome of the most exciting, truly innovative music of the moment…. Managing to be both unsettling and deeply beautiful, genuinely experimental yet infinitely palatable…" – Select Magazine

"[T]here's so much tension-and-release and spatial effects in the music that it almost becomes a visual experience." – The New York Times

"They're a group who excel in documenting moments in time, and who provide those moments with a beautifully honest soundtrack brimming with hope. Album ender, the 12-minute ‘Goodbye Enemy Airship', rises and falls, mixing up rock, jazz and folktronica to give the album a truly epic finale. Standout track‘All Of This Is True' perhaps best sums up why I love GEATLID and this band so much, combining a Kid A-esque electronic setting with lone horns that send shivers down your spine. The album cuts like a dream: a giddy whirl of different genres and instruments with the occasional distant word or noise chiming in the background." – Drowned In Sound

"[S]uspiciously quaint on the surface... Punch down further, however, and out bubbles a boiling stew of molten rock, burping brass and spiky electronics, all of which effectively fuse to produce a most agreeable and varied set of noises. The familiarity of the nod-out, slacker guitar sound - when set next to the unpredictable insectoid violence of the electronics - is indeed a thrilling, shocking thing." – The Wire

"Often melancholy and introspective, sometimes propulsive, and always evocative, downcast and shivering with a feverish intensity, the songs presented by Do Make Say Think move like a broad stormfront with a towering ceiling." – Copper Press

"When I first heard the self-titled debut album by Do Make Say Think, I was started by it's originality. Even though it's a bit shorter effort than their debut, the instrumentation on the [new] album more than makes up for things. The group has harnessed the power of quiet/loud and even though the songs sometimes change tempo right in the middle of things, the dynamic of the album just sweeps you along and wraps you up. As a release on the Constellation label, it goes without saying that the packaging on the release is impeccable. Packaged in a cardstock sleeve with a die-cut front and braille-stamped back, it's like buying a little work of art." – Almostcool

"My first impression of this album was one of amazement. I can remember hearing the first self-titled album by this Canadian band and thinking that these guys were poised to take over the indie rock world. One this, their second album...the evolution of their music shows a more mature band interested in textures and ideas, allowing the music to undulate and expand. Gone are the funky rhythms, but in their absence come amazing expanded musical themes and jazz-like tempos. Definitely an album worth picking up." – Brainwashed
