Moving away from the poppy-Nada Surf-inspired indie rock of The Billions, and the quiet acoustic of his previous Tokyo EP, Sam’s solo work has tapped into a new vein rich with more sounds than one knows how to identify, soulful vocals, and lyrics that deliver a thoughtful personal narrative. - Reviewsic.com, 2010

Never Felt This Way Before

The Billions' debut release on Northern Records, Never Felt This Way Before, is a disc that's incredibly hard to pigeonhole. At times there are elements of '80s electronica à la "Hey Girl" while at other times the band pours forth a melody like the Flaming Lips with "My Life." What's refreshing about the band is that their pop element isn't borrowing from standard formulas. The band has a freshness and a quirkiness that serves as a buoy in a sea of mediocrity. Where some listeners may get lost is in the band's eccentricity while others will embrace the sound for the same reasons. Check out the Simon & Garfunkel vibe on "Asya" or the Neil Young chordings and atmosphere on "Another Lonely Day." While the Billions probably won't break commercial Christian radio, they should make a decent run at college airwaves as their art form finds its niche. ~ Steven Douglas Losey, All Music Guide
