"You astound me with your noise. The Death of the Sun in the Silver Sea is hard rock for the troubled mind and soul for the young masses."

- Hanna Rose, Verbicide Magazine

"Minor Stars is a start-up rock band from Chapel Hill with an ambitious and promising debut that draws psychedelic sprawl, power-pop hooks, heavy metal trudge and shoegaze ambience into a concoction as sweet as it is brawny."

- Bryan Reed, Uptown Magazine

"Overdrive, the last cut on Minor Stars' debut LP zips through a hairpin turn, jerking from its familiar mid-tempo, mildly stoned rock stomp into a new, anxious and welcome post-punk jitter. It's like Swervedriver swiping a chorus from Fugazi's Red Medicine, and it's perfect."

- Grayson Currin, The Independent Weekly

"The Death of the Sun in the Silver Sea is built on big classically hard rock riffs and stretched out with soaring harmonies. The result is a streamline amalgam of the '70s AM dial and the more crushing riffs of indie rock heroes such as Dinosaur Jr. It's epic stuff."

- Jordan Lawrence & Linnie Greene, The Daily Tar Heel
