"Ukeleles! Songs about TV characters! Lists of rubbish boyfriends! The prospect of a particular kind of lo-fi cutesiness hangs heavy over New York duo the Prettiots: any description of them rather makes you feel as though your teeth are about to rot from an overdose of icing sugar, and raises the prospect that they're some kind of New York hipster injoke ... They have the tunes to match - the Prettiots' gentle indiepop is distinctly autumnal, mixing sunshine and frost, and it allows the humour to shine, but helps the lyrics hit that much harder".

"At first listen, The Prettiots feel like the Juno soundtrack gone horribly wrong - some combo of the uke, the dream pop harmonies, and the simplistic lyrics. However, once you make it through what feels like the covers you posted on YouTube in ninth grade, you realize that these girls are pretty much the antichrist version of Zooey Deschanel. And it's so awesome. The cuteness is really a reflection not of simplicity, but of bluntness. They're not going to write a flowery song, because they hate you, and they could just say that!".
