"It’s like what Pink Floyd would’ve sounded like if they’d decided to record ‘Great Gig in the Sky’ with Jill Scott instead, and at the turn of the millennium...Last Planet, ‘Seaglass’ will instantly transport you to the stoned, care-free aesthetic of an oceanside outing..."

"Whiskey Breath is everything that a Last Planet song sets out to be...seductive sound and a trancey, melodic groove that’s accentuated by some very soulful electric guitar playing. You throw in some sassy saxophone and lyrics that allude to the mischievous side of the nightlife, and you got one sexy track."

"this promising modern rock sextet with R&B influences is pretty cool. They’re doing something new while also doing something familiar. It’s a trick bag many fail at, but not these performers...add them to your list of Bay Area bands you discovered early on."

“A dark, bluesy undercurrent flows through every song by Last Planet…we can’t praise the production quality enough, as it infuses each track with deep, reverbed aura…All in all, this is a strong band whose mix of elements results in songs that are ripe for film/TV placements, maybe even car commercials.”

"For me to say this band is going places is almost redundant, because they’re already chugging down the road to success at full speed."

"Straight Jacket is a great example of how well you can blend genres to your liking and create an explosive outcome. Straight Jacket is one of these songs that make you turn your head, either it is because of the excellently performed guitar solo, the female vocals that surprise you at the second verse, or the awesome vocal line of the chorus is guaranteed you will listen.

“[Jonesing] is a powerful blend of funk, blues rock and modern alternative rock, that builds and caters to the duet back-and-forth feeling between the two vocalists. Play this one loud!"
