For fans of: Silverchair, Radiohead, Muse, Snowpatrol. `Fake Noise from a Box of Toys' is the fourth release from the dreamey indie-pop 4-piece and shows a band that has fully matured in terms of their ambition and their ability to craft lush arrangements. `The Autumns' marry angular indie rock intensity to a conspicuous sense of melody and cloak it in an all-encompassing atmosphere of ethereal shoe-gazing majesty. As such, the wonderfully entitled `Fake Noise from a Box of Toys' is a 12 track, 43minute foray into cinematic and sonically diverse alternative rock soundscapes which continuously meander between a range of styles. The album recalls the majestic indie albums of the last decade in that listener's are treated to hit after hit. The Autumns have sprinkled magic dust over the body of infectious and dreamy alt. rock to deliver one of the strongest indie albums of 2007.” – Experimusic. “3 ½ stars. Previous albums like In the Russet Gold of This Vain Hour were full of shimmering, slowly unfolding dream pop soundscapes directly influenced by the likes of My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins, whose Simon Raymonde signed the Los Angeles band to his Bella Union label some time back. There are intermittent flashes of that sound on Fake Noise from a Box of Toys (notably on "The Midnight Knock" and "The Beautiful Boot"), but this is a far more immediate album overall. Points of comparison this time aren't the wall-of-effects-pedals wash that Robin Guthrie or Kevin Shields specialized in, but the self-consciously epic likes of Simple Minds, U2, Radiohead, or even Coldplay: singer Matthew Kelly tends to favor the highest end of his range à la Chris Martin or Thom Yorke. Anthemic singalong choruses, catchy guitar riffs, and layered harmonies -- things the Autumns never had much truck with on their earlier albums -- are the focus.”-AMG.
