CHAINS OF LOVE “Strange Grey Days” on Spotify

“We’ve been crushing on Chains of Love for a while, and now the Toronto sextet - four guys playing instruments, two girls singing and playing guitar up front- is making it even easier to fall hard for them this summer” - NYLON

“There’s a fine line between the slavish worship of a revivalist troupe like Fitz and The Tantrums and what Chains of Love do, but they manage to keep just the right side of it on their debut album Strange Grey Days” - The Guardian

“Strange Grey Days imagines what it sounds like to hear one blasting out of a cheap transistor radio on a hot August night in 1965. But while the scruffy surface may lend Strange Grey Days the patina of a dust-covered, decades-old, crate-digger find, it doesn’t provide the best showcase for vivacious vocalist Nathalia Pizarro, the undeniable focal point of their live shows and, as such, the person in the best position to distinguish Chains of Love from the 60s-throwback pack” - Pitchfork

“Nathalia Pizarro’s super-physical inhabiting of these tunes, they also have a serious contender for most charismatic frontwoman of SXSW” - NME

“It’s a bouncy, jouncy, Ronettes-inflected slab of popsmithery that sounds as though it was recorded in a bathtub with a Talkboy” - SPIN

“60s garage/psychedelic rock and soul is hard not to pay attention to. If you were to ask the band where they take their sound from, they would drop Gail Harris, Ike & Tina, The Ronnettes, and The Shangri-la’s as points of reference” - My Old Kentucky Blog

“It’s a mix of ’60s girl group shine, ’70s garage rock grime, and ’80s surf rock revival that makes you want to get drunk at prom, ditch it to get high in your parents’ garage, then ride down to the beach and skinny dip all night long” - Yours Truly
