Below are some nice things that people have said about The Simple Carnival.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

[Smitten<\/a><\/strong> is] a timeless, understated gem from an undiscovered pop savant.<\/p>\n

Uncut<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[The Simple Carnival] concocts his songs as the current undisputed master of the pop genre.<\/p>\n

Piggledy Pop<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Boller crafts great songs and then has the techno-know-how to work magic on them in his studio. And man oh man…what a voice. Pop fans will go nuts over the harmonies here. [Smitten<\/a><\/strong>] is bursting at the seams with superb melodies and creative arrangements…Eleven tracks of pure pop perfection. Highly recommended. TOP PICK.<\/p>\n

Babysue<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

YAY! Looks like good music is coming back!<\/p>\n

Margo Guryan<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Catchy, sweet, tender, quirky, and sung with unbelievable charm. One of this summer’s ‘hits’. (One of mine, anyway.)<\/p>\n

Louis Philippe<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

OMG! I just checked out some of your music and the “Smitten” music video<\/a><\/strong> is… AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Spookey Ruben<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Nilsson for the modern generation.<\/p>\n

Russell’s Reviews<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is an outstanding effort…<\/p>\n

Northeast Performer Magazine<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is]<\/i> a remarkable and thoroughly-rounded achievement.<\/p>\n

Whisperin & Hollerin<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is one of the most beautiful song records of the year.<\/p>\n

Konkret<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is a]<\/i> pop masterpiece…<\/p>\n

groove.no<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Every track is solid throughout and Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> should rightfully be called a soft pop masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Powerpopaholic<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is the best thing that’s happened to power pop in a long time.<\/p>\n

Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b> is]<\/i> one of the all-time great melodic long-players!<\/p>\n

Alan Haber’s Pure Pop Radio<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s something beautiful going on here. Unless I’m mistaken Jeff Boller (aka The Simple Carnival) is surely the new heir apparent to the Brian-Wilson-king-of-sunshine-pop crown.<\/p>\n

Lobster Quadrille<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Brian Wilson had a nice dad, this is the kind of music he would have made!<\/p>\n

Roctober<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

STUNNING… HUGELY Recommended!<\/p>\n

Not Lame<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He does everything… He doesn’t use samplers or weird computer programs, it’s all himself over himself. I really admire his work… Recommended, one of the best unknown\/non-mainstream artists I know!<\/p>\n

alwaysontherun.net<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Simple Carnival is also known as Jeff Boller, who appears to be the happiest man living in Pennsylvania. I would be too if I was as talented as this man.<\/p>\n

Even in the Future Nothing Works<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

True artistry is rarely concerned about rock star status, and that’s never more evident than in… Girls Aliens Food<\/a><\/b>. The Simple Carnival embodies its name: after listening, you just want some cotton candy and a girl to ride the Ferris wheel with.<\/p>\n

Amplifier Magazine<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

‘Flirt’ is a blend of jazz piano, scat vocals, and finger-snapping rhythms so catchy that for the first week I heard the disk, I would consistently wake up dying to hear that track.<\/p>\n

Redefine Magazine<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I’ve had a song stuck in my head for a week and I’m still not ready for something else to take its place, I consider that a good sign. This week my mental jukebox has mostly been playing… The Simple Carnival.<\/p>\n

Too Much Apple Pie<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My favourite band of this last week has got to be The Simple Carnival… They are a melodic pop music studio project created by a guy named Jeff Boller who must be the long lost son of Brian Wilson if the MP3s on the band’s web site are anything to go by.<\/p>\n
