Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"...what might be their best yet." 4/5 Stars - MOJO 

“Joe Pernice is one of the most beloved and respected singers-songwriters of our generation.” - TIDAL

“Devastating, but delivered on a cloud of two-dollar chords and pop arrangements worthy of Bacharach… Pernice has hit his stride again.” - NPR

"Joe Pernice is a workhorse of a songwriter who delivers hard truths with the softest of whispers. Previous descriptors of his classic American pop music (lush, winsome, devastating) still apply, but these songs reflect a world crumbling down even as we pick up the pieces." - NPR

“A gem.” **** - Daily Express (UK)

“Rich and rewarding” **** - AllMusic

"...an absolute stunner." - Under the Radar 

"Joe Pernice grows older gracefully, and gratefully... Who Will You Believe is the sound of a man who has not only grown into himself, but is finding that, despite dents and losses, he's kind of enjoying life." 8/10 - Uncut Magazine 

"Joe Pernice remains one of the most literary lyricists out there... combined with the set's lush power pop, it makes for a welcome return." - The Morning Star (UK) 

"...the best, most inspired Pernice Brothers album in two decades" - Brooklyn Vegan

"...he's a masterful songwriter, and Who Will You Believe is the work of a master craftsman at the very top of his game." - Americana UK

“A landmark album” - Record Store Day Podcast

“Rendered in Pernice’s lovingly frayed-at-the-edges voice and signature timeless pop melodies… Who Will You Believe is a meditation on memory and friendship.” - No Depression

"...the rich and resilient Who Will You Believe gives its listeners plenty of reason to believe this is, in fact, the Pernice Brothers' best."  - The Alternate Root 

"It's another mini masterwork that emphatically does not disappoint." - Louder than War

"...one of the year's best surprises so far. This is music from the heart and the heartland, and is exactly what rock & roll needs to hear right now." - Bentley's Bandstand, Americana Highways 

"A long overdue musical return by an always compelling creative." - Qobuz

OVERCOME BY HAPPINESS: 25th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION (2023)

Album Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

“THE BEST REISSUES & BOX SETS OF 2023” - BROOKLYN VEGAN

"...a fully-formed masterpiece of bittersweet popcraft, with spiritual cousins in Badfinger and Teenage Fanclub." - MOJO Magazine 

"Chamber pop jewel receives some well-deserved love and care." 9/10 - Uncut Magazine 

"At 25, Pernice Brothers' debut throws even brighter sparks — and darker shadows... these sad, smart and darkly funny portraits swim in a champagne of sound, cascading down a pyramid of crystal glasses even as the lives portrayed seem to drown in a dive bar...Joe Pernice is not a superhero — perhaps emphatically so — but he does hide in a middle space of emotions in plain sight, resplendent in wrought-iron arrangements that don't make us forget, but extend the feeling." - NPR Music 

"...deluxe in every sense of that word...submerge yourself into the sparkling chamber pop of the Pernice Brothers' masterpiece." 5 out of 5 Stars - American Songwriter 

“One of the finest albums of a decade loaded with great music.” - Magnet Magazine

“Widely regarded as an indie gem of its time” - Variety

"...both timeless and ahead of its time... Overcome by Happiness opens with one of the most perfectly gorgeous (or gorgeously perfect?) pop songs ever recorded ("Crestfallen") and the 11 tracks that follow never lose the breath-taking-and-catchy-and-devastating-and-amusing momentum." 5 Stars - Shindig Magazine
