"The Loveninjas have created one of the sexiest most explicit songs I've heard in awhile in 'Meet Me Here'. The song is the b-side of a cd-r release on Humblebee Records out of Edmonton. The ep is called I'm Really Sorry (That I Killed You) and the sound of the one track is a guazzy, lo-fi pop. From the song titles of the other the theme of the record is definately lost love and breakup ('I Want To Be Your Man', 'My Lust Is Dead')." -Swedes Please
"The band is mostly the work of one T. Helmstein which suits me fine for this type of music. "Meet Me Here" features a dinky little electric piano with Postal Service - like drums. I like how many of the songs are a little longer than your average two minute Guided By Voices devotion to beer. Still, the EP is over in a flash, and I found myself with it on repeat as least twice before I realized it. "I Want To Be Your Man" contains some nice swimming vocals and superfast drums, but the standout for me is "My Lust Is Dead" which really does remind me of Poor Fricky era East River Pipe, maybe "Keep All Your Windows Tight Tonight". A gorgeous shimmering song that aches along, reminding you of muted sunsets with the stars barely visible in the sky." -Shmat
"With a devotion to international indie-pop that borders on the fanatical, Humblebee Recordings' Kyle Bjornson’s latest release is a thickly layered piece of programmed beats and up-tempo melancholy that is both infectiously melodic and totally addictive. Released to little fanfare at the beginning of July, Sweden’s Loveninjas are able to blend the sincerity of Casio-pop with an obvious sense of humour that arises from bouts of pithy wordplays and self-deprecation–a rare treat in a genre usually inhabited by sad boys in bedrooms." -See Magazine
