of the year by City Pages Music Editor Melissa Maerz

"Lovely songs in the vein of
Elliot Smith." Creeper Lagoon
"Work of Saws' songs have that
just-add-water-and-watch-them-multiply kind of appeal: immediate
gratification followed by repeat appearances on the stereo. Melissa
Maerz - CITY PAGES
"From Brian Wilson holed up
in his bedroom to Ween sucking on helium and putting it down on
four-track, music history is rife with anti-geniuses who do it
themselves because they do it for themselves - which always makes
for a uniquely intimate connection between listener and sound
scientist. Adding to that tradition is Work of Saws..." Jim
Walsh - ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"[Work of Saws]...have released
one of the coolest batches of tiny, eclectic nuggets I think I've
ever heard." Tom Hallett - PULSE
"There are some pop gems on
Motivation and Watertower Grammar." Splendid
"Work of Saws is to modern
indie pop what the solo in Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" was
to anything Jimmy Page did - arguably better done - and in a fraction
of the time." Nate Patrin - TOAST
"Some of the greatest stuff I've ever heard."
Ben Allen - KKSM / MD
