REVIEWS
"Mammoth melodies, evocative imagery... the band creates discord and sonic chaos that is gorgeously layered into a symphony of pop magic." - Mobangeles
"A Thousand Sounds takes Skyfactor's swanky swagger and puts it into overdrive, stretching out their enormous melodies and making every studded nuance of their rhythm larger than life... a one of a kind listen from an awesome band that refuses to blend in with the crowd." - Gashouse Radio
"A treasure chest of musical might... boundless grooves and extraordinary melodies. Every so often a band will make an album that tests their sonic boundaries and nudges its players to yield some of the most provocative content producible. This is that album for Skyfactor." - IndieShark
"Skyfactor have done a lot of great things in the last twelve years, but never have I heard a more comprehensive representation of their aesthetic than I do in A Thousand Sounds." - Skope Magazine
"Skyfactor's most well-rounded and mature full-length album yet... a diverse collection of tracks that furiously press against the speakers and demand a reaction from listeners. Skyfactor pulls out all the stops and delivers something that amplifies all of their best qualities and melds them into a single tour de force." - NeoFutur
"A truly emotional, authentic slab of rock n' roll that defies categorization... Skyfactor is a powerful force to be reckoned with." - The IndieSource
"A smorgasbord of postmodern tones, transcendent beats, and lyrics that refuse to draw from the same jaded well as the band's peers. Though nothing could quite capture the stage presence of a band as focused and in sync as these guys are, A Thousand Sounds comes about as close as you can get." - Too Much Love Magazine
"A Thousand Sounds elevates Skyfactor's sweltering style of melodic songcraft to a uniquely sublime level... pop gems played through the lens of acoustic hard rock as we've never heard it before. An emotional, tightly wound release from a stellar group that has truly come into their own." - TheMusic Reviews

"Hooked from the first track, the album twists and turns the way great albums should... I am left bemused how they are not yet a household name... the musicianship, the production and the performance all knit together beautifully - even brilliantly." - Rock'N'Roll View
"Unique yet accessible, the Skyfactor formula is a testament to how they insist on shifting the face of alt-pop rock... intelligent lyrics and catchy melodies are the heart of these songs. An awesome album - 5/5 stars." - Indie Artists Alliance

• "This was my first time seeing Skyfactor, who played a blinder of a gig at The Bitter End. I got there early and enjoyed the 4 other artists who played before them. However, I immediately noticed the change in atmosphere when these guys grabbed their instruments and jumped on stage. The place got louder, more heads started to bop, and more eyes were fixed on the four New Yorkers rocking their simple but damn catchy melodies, which left most of us humming their songs on the train ride home." - Michelle Ryan, TheTapMusic.com.
