"There's a very homemade feel to Schwervon's music, almost like
it was recorded straight from their kitchen and into your ears. You can picture
the drum kit squashed in between the fridge and the table whilst amps covers
the worktops and wires riddle the lino. The sound is rough around the edges
and there's a sleaze to the careless strums that make you feel overdressed just
for listening. Residing in New York City, I Dream of Teeth is the couple's third
album and has a darker, more honest glow to what they've previously done."

"... their sound continues to grow more sophisticated and mature.
Nan Turner and Matt Roth once excelled at goofy, twee tunes about food and animals;
the new I Dream of Teeth is darker and more expansive."
-Amy Phillips, Village
Voice
"...Schwervon pile on foot stomping drum beats with loads of
guitar noise on their newest record. Add in boy/girl vocals that complement
each other perfectly, a love for Sonic Youth and The Pixies, and I Dream of
Teeth becomes a solid indie rock record. Keyboards and a glockenspiel guest
star on a few songs and add that certain something to the album. Throw in a
Princess Superstar style rap song and that pretty much closes the deal for me."

"Like the White Stripes if theyÌd been raised on the records
of Î80s indie heroes The Wedding Present rather than Blind Willie McTell ones,
New York boy/girl duo Schwervon! peddle a natty guitar drum rock'n'roll racket,
substituting bass frequencies for gleeful indie pop aceness."
-James Jam, NME
"It can be loud and cute and mouth-along-able. Most of all, the
Schwervon! kids sing about the real, the here and the now - laundry, depression,
rent and repression - which is probably how they got mixed up with that sincere
NYC anti-folk scene. So much damn fun."
-Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia City Paper
"Winners Lose", "Flaming
Dragonfly", "Sore Eyes" & "Undertow" Ç are the gems here Ç up there with anything
either one of our intrepid duo have committed to disc thus far Ç in any connotation.
ÏDog Walkers Of The World UniteÓ & "What Did You Call Me?" also deserve a mention. With
all the current bollocks surrounding the use of the word 'folk' Ç 'folktronica',
'lap-top-tronica', etc Ç itÌs refreshing to be reminded that Anti-Folk is still
the natural antidote to fingers-in-the-ears hey-nonny-no self-indulgence. If
you ever wondered what Sonny & Cher would have sounded like if theyÌd been backed
by Pixies Ç hereÌs your chance."
