about

Profits from this release go to the LA LGBT Center + CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

Praise for Keeping Up Appearances:

"'Keeping Up Appearances' excels in the kind of skittish haziness that could have issued from the vaults of alt-90's acts like Pavement or Dinosaur Jr." 4/5 - DIY

“Doyle’s melodic gift is in full flourish, the tightly honed trio format of guitar, bass and drums shading these compact songs in ways recalling the reductionist pleasures of The Feelies.” 7/10 - Uncut

"Keeping Up Appearances is a very worthy final instalment of Doyle's modern indie pop legacy." 7/10 - Loud And Quiet

“an album of charming melodic indie pop” – The Fader

“It’s rock’n’roll as rumination, jittery and damaged, the sound of self-recrimination and self-possession doubling and collapsing in on itself. It’s an earworm and a heartbreak” 7/10 – Pitchfork

"“a reminder of what a terrific songwriter Doyle was, managing to continually mine gold from the jangly indiepop well like few could and make it sound fresh each time.” - Brooklyn Vegan

"a collection of sun-kissed lo-fi guitar, bass and drum gems, imbued with irrepressible personality and wicked charm" - The Big Issue
