"Raw and vivid and unpredictable." ~ Impose Magazine

"[L]ike Elverum’s, Myers’ experimental bedroom compositions are wildly endearing, carefully manufactured with intricate personal detail, allowing us listeners a glimpse inside his psyche. He’s got a knack for layers, as well as understanding how they can play off each other in unorthodox ways, masquerading acoustic guitar compositions in complex arrangements and passing them off as epics in miniature. And he’s really freaking good at it." ~ Critical Masses

"Then on to the album's last deep trip, 'Directions'. It is simply a song to lose yourself into. Take it straight, altered, enhanced; regardless it is simply an indulgence that envelops you, and begs you to give your headspace up to it. Similarly to 'Turn Back', it has the sweetest melody pinning it all together. The songs clarion line, 'life doesn't turn out the way you hoped it would. It’s OK', will easily become many's new tattoo. And so to the end, and 'Gems'. A perfect, sweet, uplifting, sharp end, to a delightful, enticing, rewarding, subtly glorious album. What a wonderful trip." ~ The Sound of Confusion

"As the capabilities of technology increase and experimental music continues to push boundaries, Peace Arrow is a perfect example of the innovation of experimental musicians. Myers’ skill in blending traditional qualities with original sounds creates something that can best be described as peaceful, elegant, and beyond the ordinary. The arrows in the album title reflect the same tone as the music : balance." ~ Katuwapitiya


"Though Mitch has been making Peace Arrow more melodic than his original project Hear Hums, the beginning of this track starts with a mixture of bowed banjo drones, finger-picked guitar rifts, and a simple kalimba scale that keeps you grounded as you get submerged into an ocean of low tones. The build leads you into a soundscape while Mitch’s voice guides you through the articulately messy swamps and caverns that he has created for you to explore." ~ PORTALS


"Perish the thought that Animal Collective didn’t fill the oddball pop quota with ‘Centipede Hz’, an influx of new bands inspired by their tye-dye psychedelia are emerging out of the cracks. Peace Arrow are the finest. " ~ This is Fake DIY
