STADTREVUE
“Inzwischen ist er nicht mehr aus der Kölner Indieszene wegzudenken — sein Album »Popcorn Graveyard« hätte es allerdings verdient, zu einem globalen Erfolg zu werden! Es überzeugt durch exzellente Songs, die auf Anhieb zünden, und vielschichtige, fantasievolle Arrangements, deren Wirkung sich mit jedem Hören mehr entfaltet…..”
ROLLING STONE ★★★★
“Atmosphärischer Soundtrack aus einer Fantasy-Welt. Das Jahr 1986 gibt dabei den Soundraum vor. Analoge Piano Elegien („V“) und allerlei Verträumtes („Magnolia“, „Frontier“). Aber Collberg singt auch kühl-brüchige Chansons wie weiland Robert Mitchum. Und das in die Ferne driftende „Western Cruise“ hätte sich der späte Brian Wilson ausdenken können.“
ROSY OVERDRIVE
“The slick orchestrations of “Temporary Cruise” and “Sympathy” feels like Papercuts territory….. the jaunty but offbeat country rock “Spiritual Cult Love Story”, that sounds the most like the work of a full band (and is also the moment on Popcorn Graveyard where Collberg really establishes himself as a desert weirdo in the vein of Giant Sand and Golden Boots).”
