Critical acclaim for Treefight For Sunlight’s self-titled debut album, released  this week on Bella Union records…

“Packing shades of The Turtles, Association and fellow Danish dream-poppers The Kissaway Trail, Treefight for Sunlight must surely be one of 2011’s brightest hopes… This is ambitious, deliciously delirious stuff, TFS arriving fully-formed”

MOJO – 4 stars ****

“They sound huge, muscular and thoroughly orchestral, with Brian Wilson-ish vocal harmonies and nods to Steve Reich’s piano minimalism”
Uncut – 4 stars ****

“There is a stunning melodic eloquence and pop sensibility here… This is supremely focused and confident for a debut album… Essential”

Artrocker – 5 stars *****

“stirs feelings of euphoria and optimism… propulsive and swoonsome… irresistible”

“the Denmark foursome cater in sing-along symphonies propelled by an array of pianos, guitars, woodwind, and vocals which sit sweetly somewhere between MGMT and Empire of the Sun… Insanely catchy”

The Fly – 4 Stars ****

“Gorgeous feelgood anthems…”

The Line Of Best Fit

“A joy to behold”

Music OMH – 4 Stars ****

“The perfect pop record”

The 405 – 9/10
