"Terms like “crafted”, “melodic” and “lush” have become so wantonly overused of late that they’ve almost ceased to prick up one’s ears the way they used to.  Dave Dill’s fifth solo set Follow the Summer is all of these things.  It’s also sunny, soft and sweet but not in the squashed apricot sense.

The first thing that sprung to my mind upon hearing ‘Miss America’ and ‘Happily Ever After’ was The Glandhand’s mid-90s gem La Di Da, particularly the sound of Dill’s voice and the warm guitar/keyboard interplay.  The omnipresent influence of “those bands beginning with B” may loom large but there’s more to the windows-down road rock of ‘Don’t Remember’ and the desperately fragile ‘Perfect There’ than mere clever revisionism."

“Fabulous! So much of the American power pop '60s thing is formulaic, tired and obvious... Dave is different. Even better than The Wondermints in their prime...I'M NOT LETTING MINE GO”  - Jon "Mojo" Mills
