WRFL lexington's review of Limestone Walls & Frozen Dalls.  (july, 2008)

"The Noisycrane family has grown in size and stature since we last heard from them. This recording features the members we saw and the songs we heard when they shared the stage with Baby Dee. Mostly folky and melancholy, Cody Swanson's voice dips low to conjur up Stephen Merritt's bass tone. Makes you want to slow down and watch the rain and feel sad."

WRFL lexington's review of Portmanteau. (jan, 2008)

"Local songwriter Cody Swanson puts together a great collection of introspective, melancholy folk tunes in the vein of In The Aeroplane Over the Sea. A lot of the tracks have a blues, almost country western feel to them, which contributes greatly to the atmosphere of longing and isolation that makes this record really stellar, especially for such a low-key local act."
