“On The Accidental Falls Portland, Oregon’s Eyelids, one of rock’s best-kept secrets, step firmly out from the considerable shadow cast by the band members’ second-to-none pedigrees earned from time spent in Guided By Voices, The Decemberists, Stephen Malkmus and Elliott Smith’s bands. Produced by REM iconoclast Peter Buck who also plays on the record with Tucker Martine (Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, Neko Case) and Heba Kadry (Deerhunter, Bjork) who mixed and mastered the record respectively.

Early reviews for The Accidental Falls:
MOJO 4 stars: “Evokes the feel of R.E.M.’s Reckoning with the brightness turned up, and Big Star’s Radio City.”
SHINDIG 4 stars: “The meeting of Larry Beckett’s verses and the band’s sweet guitar-pop isn’t just an interesting experiment that works. It’s a winning and exciting combination, extraordinary in its instinctive smoothness.”
