“Swimming into the depths of psychedelia only to reign back into tight indie-rock, the band fronted by Graham Parsons had attendees swaying and flailing.”
“…listening to the newest tune from the Go Rounds illustrates how they’ve prioritized exploration, experimentation, dynamics, and groove. This song doesn’t have a hook, per see, but it absolutely has a pulse; its dynamics are like a lapping tide, going from thin and minimal to effusive and swooning. The bridge feels like a series of deep, calming breaths, and then the spare rhythm tumbles back in and a sense of rejuvenation pours in—it’s an ideal song to take a long, contemplative walk to…”

“…something that can appeal to more people because it will pull on that thing you love–psych, rockabilly, groove, indie rock–and also make you feel welcome to all the others; something that pulls on the things we are struggling with: the universal experiences of life.”
—Tina Mead, Midwest Action, 26 April 2019
“Sweetly affected lyrical trails lead to manic wails over glistening guitar twang and Americana-pop-styled jaunty rhythms. Tunes can take on a slow-burn-to-charged folk feel, later bleeding out into psychedelic rock soundscapes with frenetic, yet controlled, treated vocals.”
“‘Pattern and Vanity’ es una canción que engloba las múltiples facetas que la banda ha explorado en sus producciones anteriores; de guitarras estridentes, largos pasajes instrumentales, versos y coros altisonantes, este sencillo marca el regreso de la banda después de su último EP Code.”
—Warp, 16 Oct 2018
“Whether they’re stretching out a groove-heavy rock song or an effortlessly catchy pop tune, there’s an otherworldly feel to the band’s Day-Glo harmonies and shimmering, liquid guitar lines.”

The Go Rounds: The Best of What’s Next
No matter if it’s at a small coffee shop or a packed venue with hundreds in the audience. There is always a sense of communion, like the whole room is taking part of something real and unique beyond the realm of indie-pop music. It has nothing to do with a fan base or a shared identity. It’s something that happens there on the spot, taking a lot of unsuspecting crowd members by surprise.”
The Go Rounds Find Stability Through Change
“whatever you may be…is the ideal Zen-like combination of meditation and unpredictability. Just as each song could suggest four different genres, the Kalamazoo band sounds as though its excavated a certain serenity by continuing to dig.”
—Jeff Milo, Local Spins Album Reviews, 28 March 2019
“The Go Rounds ha sabido perfeccionar un rock que sabe echar mano del sonido de los grandes nombres de la década de los sesenta y setenta, para amplificarlos y decantarlos en una propuesta sólida y controlada, que lo mismo viaja por la dulzura campirana que por el art rock, la lisergia e incluso el espíritu new wave.”
"We first met The Go Rounds when we invited them to play a concert at Foro Indie Rocks. It’s not exaggerated to say that it was one of the best indie shows of 2015 in Mexico City."
