Illinois Entertainer on Smallwire's album Songs for Sleeping In

On April 30, 2008, the Illinois Entertainer published the following review of Songs for Sleeping In, the début album of Chicago band Smallwire. Entertainer reviewer Andy Argyrakis lavishes praise upon the fruits of Smallwire's labors.

Here's the review:

After opening for Tapes 'N Tapes, Chin Up Chin Up, and Magnolia Electric Co. (to name a few), melodic indie poppers Smallwire turned in the somber though sophisticated Songs For Sleeping In. Frontwoman Kristin Barendregt evokes Feist throughout the peppier premises of "Is It What You Thought?" and "Aftercast," while the dreamy backdrops of "Blur The Lines" and "Passing Plane" conjure production images of Brian Eno.
