"This New York upstater must be a studio rat. This is his fourth LP (two are with the band Autumdivers) of making an acoustic guitar expand and shimmer into multicolor soundscape, to back and bolster his confident voice (which bears minor resemblance to Radiohead's Thom Yorke). An expert picker (see the 10-minute soft monster title track) he is equally adept at banjo, keyboards, and violin; anything to create a neo-symphonic climate for his soft-croon to swan dive into. Very, very, transporting" - Jack Rabid, Big Takeover.

"what a way to start an album. an ambient build-up that seems to shake your nerves, creeping and crawling its way into your body and brain like a slithering snake. gregory paul, the frontman for new yorks stellar indie pop band autumdivers, whom i gave big props to when i reviewed their self-titled album, shows his skills as a solo artist. paintings of musical tapestries and pin-ups of melodic pop arm the album with a soundscape unlike any other, proving that we as humans have only begun to experience our musical potential. experimental pop-rock with psychedelic undertones that coast through melodies and harmonies like a speed boat, awake from the flash could potentially be the singer/songwriter album of the year. get this album now!" - j-sin [smother.net]
