Moviola’s “Dead Knowledge” is Lucky #7, Obscure Sound

...(Moviola's) unadorned melodies, gliding riffs and prose coalesce song and story into multi-dimensioned scenes starring characters you can almost touch. Moviola offer a place to shake off your shoes and bleed into the woodwork. --LA Weekly

...Mostly, however, Moviola taps the spirit of NRBQ, another open-ended combo that swings to its own trends. The album plays like a murmur from the old world, tracing a fading movement in pop music that never really was. --TimeOut NY

...It's the ability to be quirky, individualist and knowing, include ironic asides, and at the same time communicate real feeling, or to empathize so strongly with another, that you're actually there with them. That's the quality that Moviola have. They avoid the alt- country and even Americana ghetto altogether, their range is too wide. --SF Weekly
