Love Destroyer by Oak and Gorski
"This L.A.-based duo calls their music "cello rock," but Rasputina they ain't - their folksy, harmony-laced songs more closely resemble the radio-friendly soft rock of the Fray or the emotive "newgrass" of the Avett Brothers."
METROMIX
"Love Destroyer is just the thing for a quiet day in December. The lovely pop-rock melodies have a hushed quality and a lucid stillness that imparts wintry calm."
MTV IGGY
"Oak and Gorski have taken cello rock to an entirely different level, blending the classical melancholy of the cello with the soulful strings of the guitar to produce music that is simultaneously haunting and catchy."
THE AMHERST STUDENT
"As listeners you will feel every gorgeous cello note created, wrapping itself around the warmth of Ken Oaks vocals, combining to make "If I Could Tell You" absolutely distinct and uplifting. The track comes from Oak & Gorski's upcoming fourth studio album Love, Destroyer."
INDIE ROCK REVIEWS
"The best band you've never heard of. Love Destroyer's melodic harmonies and scriptive lyrics allow you to transpire to another world. Let's hope this is the year of the cello."
