"...Chicago's ruling experimental collective... a band that's required listening for anyone seeking education in underground music."
-Punk Planet
"Imagine a confluence of the grandeur of Yes, the range of This Heat, the irreverence of Ween, the poignancy of Elliott Smith and the mischief of Andy Kaufman, and you'll be getting close to the net effect of Cheer-Accident's musical output..."
-Signal to Noise
"...[Cheer-Accident] meld difficult, angular rock with absurdist lunacy in intentionally disturbing ways that are just brilliant."
-Alternative Press

"Listening to a Cheer-Accident song is like toppling over a box full of riddles and non-sequiturs, yet these bursts of experimental pop invite newcomers to join the strange revelry... They've always been willing to hurl together a giddy mix of chromatically tilted guitars, synths, even horns, flutes, strings, and rhythms that feel complex but not overly disciplined..."
-Scott Gordon, AV Club

Cheer-Accident Fear Draws Misfortune Cuneiform Records 2009

"...the influences go by in blurred, subliminal hints, within those bleakly beautiful King Crimsonish lopes: Morricone, early Genesis, UK, Stravinsky, Yes, Lalo Schifrin.... Bacharach? Is that what that is, at the end? ... they always sound like Cheer-Accident, whatever myriad fragments of their collective musical memories pop up in the stew. Above all, they will always arrive at a tense, haunted, mysterious place, whether exploring with minimalist drones and sparse drums or, as in 'Fear Draws Misfortune', going for all-out maximalism."

"Other ships in Chicago's post-rock fleet displace more water, but CHEER-ACCIDENT is the scene's Flying Dutchman: eternally sailing far out at sea, the band is half distant mirage, half unsettling portent. They're musicians' musicians... the guys to watch to see what everyone will be doing next year or next decade or maybe just never dare to do at all."
-Chicago Reader

"Tons of weird rock records have streamed out of Chicago over the past two decades, but none have blended pop smarts and avant-garde impulses as skillfully as this marvelous brainteaser of an album."
