|| Bluesbunny Independent Music Reviews ||"Series Two Records make a habit of releasing music by bands that most of us have never heard of. Back in Judy's Shack, for example, turned out to be a duo from Sweden and this is the American release of their only mini album. The first couple of tracks settle into a gentle, hypnotic rhythm that sort of lulls you into a false sense of security. Nice enough but the music doesn't really grab you. Then they step up their game as "Breath" takes us on a journey off into ambient land mixing samples in with jazzy, breathy vocals. "The Puff, the Drag, the Whiff" features the line "…this is my last cigarette, I promise you" and at least allows to convince ourselves that Johan Cederberg and Josefine Jinder might just have some unhealthy habits. "Silence" takes us back into ambient perfection like a gentle version of the Cocteau Twins. Positively commercial is "The Forest", a song that adds delicate vocals to the simplest of rhythms. These seven short songs take up little of your time and drift away like the clouds but they left behind a positive impression."

|| Fense Post || "Contrary to the majority of bands out there, indluding those fitting the indie-pop mold, keys are the primary instrument in Back In Judy's Shack. Thus, there should be no surprise that I immediately relate them to Au Revoir Simone. However, Back In Judy's Shack do stand on there own, well outside that early reference point. First notable, as early as opening track "Winter Days", is the production value; it's all lo-fi, as is signature to albums on Series II. Second, on the following "Burning Cold", is the inclusion of male vocals. Finally, in the third song "Breath", Back In Judy's Shack adds some unique instruments in the opening sequence: horns. Virtually all songs on Back In Judy's Shack include backing electronic beats. This often heightens the catchiness factor of the tunes, most notable in "Silence" and "The Forest". However, calling them high points would merely discredit the other songs, which are, honestly, equally as worthy of the badge. In many ways, the electronic elements and male-female vocals lead Back In Judy's Shack to remind me of a more pop, less dark Cock And Swan. Concluding with yet another strong tune, "What Are You Doing For The Rest Of Your Life", the album is notably short, merely containing seven songs; further, only one barely tops three minutes while two are significantly under two. Back In Judy's Shack, then, could almost be considered an EP. But where it lacks in song legth, it more than makes up in quality music."

|| Fazer Magazine ||"Clocking in at a little over 17 minutes. Back In Judy’s Shack self-titled debut can best be described as an Ambient, Electronic album with Prog-Rock acoustic guitar. This album will leave you speechless and is a shoo-in for album of the decade. "

|| The Sound Of Indie ||"First up is Back In Judy’s Shack. The fantastic UK blog Indie MP3 compared this now defunct Swedish duo to Insides, which I certainly can’t argue with. Though not as polished as Insides, they certainly are in the same vein. This is my favorite track that I’ve heard off of the newly re-issued self-titled EP on Series Two Records."

|| The Culture Of Me ||"The Swedish duo known as Back In Judy's Shack were actually broken up. Meaning up until very recently, they did not record music anymore as their former entity, a sweetly genuine electro pop incarnation of Josefine and Johan (the duo, duh) that made 7 songs, put them on a CD-R (which was released on Bedroom), disbanded and started other projects. The CD-R has, for some time, been sold out. But Series Two Records, the small imprint running out of Omaha, Nebraska, is reissuing it. Come on fledgling indie bands. Stay together for the kids."
