Translated from German: “A slight Beach Boys feeling - albeit much more leisurely - resonates for me. Biv and the Mnemonics are not the ones who throw themselves into the surf with their boards, but those who watch it comfortably from the deck chair and sip their cocktail in peace. Biv and the Mnemonics bring together a lot of different influences and directions on The Pace. But they manage to give the whole thing a very coherent, pleasantly warm basic direction, full of energy and still relaxed. Shaped by the sixties and yet completely modernized. Very nicely done, please more of it!”

“San Fran folk-rock classicists drill down the memory with an upbeat full-blown full-lengther. Memorable!”

“Once in a great while a band comes along that encourages thought and inspiration through their art. Biv and the Mnemonics album The Pace succeeds in doing just that. By integrating a melodic balance of rhythmic folk-rock musical style along with solid lyrical content, Biv and the Mnemonics are able to improve any listener’s mood overall.”

Translated from Dutch: “The sunny Californian sound forms the core of the cheerful ‘The Umbrella Song,’ and closing song ‘Long Arm Of The Law’ is a catchy ballad that can also charm us on this all-in-all quite nice record from Biv and the Mnemonics.”

“Listening to The Pace for the first time was kind of tough, because I really did want to just sit back and forget that I had a 40-hour a week job, bills to pay, and stress that comes along with life. Biv and the Mnemonics have a good sense for harmonies and it can be heard in their songs. When I listened to the album I felt like I should be sitting out on a porch in a rocking chair while looking out on some wide-open scenic landscape.”

8. Synthesis Chico Review by Jeremy Gerr

Print Only

“Masterful songwriting comes natural to Biv and the Mnemonics. The Pace is precious evidence. Biv and Mnemonics totally rejuvenate the predictable genre of Americana. The lyrics are so genuine they make you feel like a coward. If you had a beer, laid down in a field, and the clouds starting waltzing, Biv and the Mnemonics is what they’d be waltzing to. This all makes for a truly impressive record, but its best facet is certainly the pace. It’s worth your time to see what I mean.”
