"Pitched halfway between Chris Isaak's laid-back warmth and Scott Walker's arch, cabaret fatalism, and struck through with a hearty dose of young Johnny Cash's wild-eyed, amphetamine-laced intensity, he often sounds like a David Lynch parody of a '50s singer. It's a magnetically theatrical combination that would feel a little too conceptual and character-driven, were it not for the brothers' deep grasp of the musical traditions they are drawing upon ... Ultimately, the Ruen Brothers strike an equally vibrant balance on All My Shades of Blue, coloring their old-school rock & roll hooks with a postmodernist eye for savvy recontextualization".
