Praise for 'Lo-Fantasy':
"'Lo-Fantasy' is without a doubt the strongest
Sam Roberts Band release to date." - CBC Music
"Insanely catchy" - The Buffalo News
"A dancefloor-ready mix of groove-inflected rock tunes." - Exclaim
"Explosive... ['Lo-Fantasy'] redefines Roberts' sound with the addition of sinewy and gauzy club vibes that gives listeners more reasons to dance than to head-bang." - PopMatters
""Is it too early to call 'Lo-Fantasy 'one of this year's surefire summer albums?
Sam Roberts and his band are certainly staking their claim with this one..." - Vancouver Sun.
