"Red Hot Photo Committee is expansive and polished—a testament to the prolonged run that produced it. It's the sound of a band delighting in its own reverberations, armed with the hearty instrumentation of country rock, a notebook stuffed with amusing stories, and the spirit of ragtag friendship."
"The 12-minute 'Gizzard' could make believers out of jam agnostics as the shimmering groove, laid down by bassist Will Carr, extends into an inviting, borderline romantic progression."
"Over its eight songs, the album makes a strong argument for National Photo Committee joining the ranks of Wilco, Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band, and fellow best-in-class artists putting a Midwestern spin on sunburnt Americana."
National Photo Committee's debut album, released by Ever/Never Records, reflects seven years of musical evolution from a freewheeling alt-country outlet to a full band. The album features rich instrumentation, including pedal steel and tenor saxophone, and showcases the band's storytelling through its eight songs. Tracks like 'Foam the Field' and 'Adelaide' highlight their musical choices, while the 12-minute 'Gizzard' offers a captivating groove. The album positions National Photo Committee alongside notable Americana artists, maintaining their punk roots throughout.
