The songs on Manners are catchy, dancey indie pop that fall somewhere between Phoenix, Cut Copy, and MGMT. They combine catchy melodies with singer Michael Angelakos’s falsetto and the occasional children’s chorus to create fun and joyful-sounding music for some very dark lyrics. – Rachel McGovern, Hollywood

Boston's young Michael Angelakos has no shame. Herein he bashes out one of the catchiest, danciest, falsettoest electro-indie love rock records since the Postal Service. Debts are confessed to both Randy Newman and Giorgio Moroder, which may help to explain the fabulous collision of wry, poetic tunesmithery and unstoppable beats & hooks. Smartening up the classic romantic rock sounds of Abba and Phil Collins, he throws a chair through your picture window and demands you come out and collect your dozen roses. Catchy, swooshy stuff!
