"Non-fiction has all the ingredients of a perfect album -- it's catchy, it's clever, and it's grounded in years of grand rock and roll tradition rather than getting its history lessons in some secondhand Brian Wilson-channeled-through-Apples in Stereo way. Now all it needs is a listening base - after all, most great pop-rock records are shared experiences. You buy it, make a tape for your pals, walk by someone else's dorm room/cubicle and hear them blaring the album and make an instant friend, listen to it on the way to the club, lend it to your girlfriend and never get it back after the break-up, and then you look back and realize that it was the soundtrack to a four month chunk of your life. Non-fiction is that kind of record, so shelve your Shins and Decemberists records for a few weeks -- you've already created plenty of memories while listening to them - and allow The Kingdom Flying Club to become your newest fixation." - Splendid
