"Friends of Friends is, or has become, a decidedly album-oriented label, focused on cohesive long-form statements... Variety is what defines the label, rather than predictability" - Resident Advisor
"Friends Of Friends has always had a knack for finding artists whose sense of pathos borders on maudlin but usually end up on the right side of the divide." - Pitchfork
"The Friends of Friends label has established itself as a solid outpost for various melodically textured and beat-oriented sounds over the past few years" - XLR8R
