Pitchfork 7.7/10 The 11 irresistibly fun songs on Brooklyn indie rockers Ava Luna's new Electric Balloon are as eccentric as anything the band has ever done, but they stick in your head in a way their earlier material didn't.

The Line of Best Fit 8/10 For their second album, Ava Luna flirts teasingly with ideas of structure and pacing, drawing lines in the sand only to kick them out with the sort of no wave-inspired, funk-blues fusion that's rapidly become their signature.

The Skinny 2/5 Day Dream is the brash, unapproachable gatekeeper to Ava Luna’s third LP Electric Balloon. With Carlos Hernandez’s coos and yelps returning to the fore, this New York quintet’s record is a jumbled, musty garage of songs, angular and cobwebbed and impossible to second-guess.
