Praise for PS I Love You:
“Get Over”: One of the more kinetic tracks on Meet Me at the Muster Station puts it over the top with an inspired midsong ska break. Yes, a ska break. – [#12 / Ben Rayner's Reasons to Live] Toronto Star
“Alongside their mascara-rocking brother band, Diamond Rings, this 90s-worshipping Kingston duo rode a howling wave of feedback from well-kept local secret to full-out critical darlings. Even when indulging in retro-style guitar heroics, this stunning debut album doesn’t waste a note.” – [#4 / Best local albums] NOW Magazine
“It’s hard to believe that the stunning Meet Me at the Muster Station is PS I Love You’s debut. Arriving fully formed, this Kingston duo delivers its catchy hooks with brute force, pummelling listeners with fuzzy guitars and thundering rhythms. And even if you won’t be able to sing along with frontman Paul Saulnier’s strangled yelps, songs like “Facelove” and “2012″ will be stuck in your head for weeks. Savage noise freak-outs have never sounded quite so palatable.” – [#4 / Best of Rock & Pop 2010] Exclaim!
“The odd-couple duo of Paul Saulnier (guitar/vocals) and Benjamin Nelson (drums) couch their considerable technical skill in a grungy garage-rock dressing, conveying palpably heartfelt emotion through mostly indecipherable yelping. And with Meet Me at the Muster Station, they’ve produced a compact debut that nonetheless feels momentously epic.” – [8.1/10] Pitchfork
“Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, this small guy-big guy duo creates propulsive grunge out of sincerely adroit love songs (see “Butterflies and Boners”), emulating Japandroids’ poppy noise assaults with more technical prowess. Thanks to Paul Saulnier’s incredible knack for arena-sized guitar solos, it’s safe to say that they’re Dinosaur Jr., Jr.” – Village Voice
“Their debut full-length, Meet Me at the Muster Station, released earlier this month, gives equal weight to contemplation and confrontation, subtle strings and feisty feedback, beat-box grooves and hokey hick-picking. On stage, Paul Saulnier’s burly, disheveled presence belies the almost androgynous anguish of his vocals, while Benjamin Nelson’s steady, garagey beats temper any stylistic ADD. Lo-fi and irreverent, watching PS I Love You feels like getting in on the ground floor – again.” – LA Weekly
