Eagle Nation Online
t’s a good album to listen to for whatever mood you are in, but especially if you are in need of a mood booster. This entire album gives me coming-of-age movie vibes, and is definitely an album to play while driving around with friends.

Pebble Brain is certainly an emotional journey, and it ends with the heaviest feeling of existentialism I’ve felt in a while. I love it, though, and the album has been on repeat all week, so Lovejoy certainly did something right.

Scad Radio
What truly sets Lovejoy’s album apart from any other is their ability to not only blend the harmonious guitars, fast-paced drums, blaring trumpets, and a thrumming bassline present in light-hearted rock with these same themes, but balance them out in an upbeat, beautifully composed, and downright fun album.

“Pebble Brain” is a fantastic soundtrack for romanticizing your life. But beyond that it clings to you. Whether the songs are just stuck in your head or they left a lasting impression, when you listen to this EP, it’s hard to avoid getting a pebble brain.

The Daily Princetonian
Lovejoy’s newest EP, “Pebble Brain,” follows the same high-energy pop-punk-rock formula that carried “Are You Alright?” to Spotify’s “Viral Hits” playlist. Overall, I’m impressed with it, especially considering that Soot isn’t a professional vocalist. The lyrics might be confusing to many, but their vagueness is their strength: Depending on the listener’s interpretation, they can have implications on the personal, political, or societal level. I was also excited by every occasion when tracks danced around different genres or had unexpected melodic changes.

Overall, this EP is filled with energetic songs for both dancing and reflecting.

AllMusic
Pebble Brain, their second offering, features improved production value and a clutch of catchy, rambunctious songs like "Oh Yeah, You Gonna Cry?" and "Concrete." At times wry, lovelorn, snotty, and earnest, Soot's song subjects are sometimes as frenetic as the band's delivery, but are often quite enjoyable.
