NPR : “Robinson has a style and flair all his own. His emotive, at times tormented rock rides on the clamor of discordant guitar jabs, tinny drums, and pained singing.”
Pitchfork Media : “…lives up to those impressive connections, pouring a woodsy, deceptively upbeat folk song through the damp, woozy atmospherics of Horn of Plenty. The proper setting could be a rowdy bar as easily as that record’s quiet bedroom.”
Time Out New York : “Local singer-songwriter Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, whose sidemen have included members of Grizzly Bear and TV on the Radio, plays garagey pop with winning psych-era melodies.”
WOXY.com : “…with the extra layers of instrumentation and emotion, MBAR is a musician in nobody’s shadow, and deserves your attention.”
Dazed & Confused : “…veering from antehms of defiance to ballads of vulnerabilty.”
Kyp Malone, TV On The Radio : “He is in my opinion without a contemporary rival when it comes to story telling. Creating nuanced, breathing character portraits inside of pop structures. Like a lot of good music his songs feel like they are filling a predetermined space, like the ether was just waiting for him to connect the dots and give voice to them.”
