ACRN's Top Albums of 2012
"Chalk Dinosaur, Sediment [Self-Released]: When this guy says
eclectic, he means it. The album has no two tracks that completely
share the same style, while still coming together to make a cohesive
work that reaches beyond what a lot of indie pop artists are doing
these days. This album's got a hazy synthpop feel for sure, but it's
got so many bits and pieces borrowed from so many different styles
that I can't even begin to list everything you hear."

ACRN's Top Songs of 2012
"Sediment, Chalk Dinosaur: This track can best be described as
.groovy. Its sound is definitlely influenced by disco (see Van
McCoy's 'The Hustle'), and it sounds like the 1970s meeting indie pop
and a synthesizer. It's definitely a new take on the '70s era style,
and I really like it. It's something different out of the sea of
similar-sounding indie pop being released these days, and I love Chalk
Dinosaur's emphasis on combining a diverse set of styles and
influences into something new."
