While a majority of the album’s songs keep their feet planted firmly on terra firma, the explosive climax of ‘Security Wires’ propels the band into the hazy orbit that mellonova maintained and the menacing bass line that ushers in the dark and atmospheric ‘Silhouettes in Tow’ brings the listener back down again with its Interpol-style guitars and keyboards. The swirling ‘Exhibition Hall A’ blends the shoegazer elements of mellonova’s music with an accessible pop sound.
At its heart, You Gotta Come Down Sometime is a pop record with a sound that is at times reminiscent of Radiohead’s early work. The leadoff single ‘Satellites’ and the aching ‘Get Yours’ successfully bridge the gap between mellonova’s effects laden rock and their new melodic pop sound.
Beneath Augusta may have come down from space but they aren’t afraid to journey back there again."
What the Press is Saying...
"The band's music has already been likened to that of such brooding outfits as Interpol and Slowdive, and in concert the band is able to translate this introspection to maximum effect."Spill Magazine

"It's hard to find a standout track from the album, because
they're all so good. They seem to meld together in a way that the
best kind of music does, intersecting and blending in with one another
to create an awesome listening experience."

"The debut effort from Toronto’s Beneath Augusta finds
two former members of space rockers mellonova returning to earth
to deliver an exquisitely crafted batch of pop-rock songs. Gavin Miller

"...They strike a musical chord that further
focuses their diversions into space rock with a pop sensibility.
Refined and perhaps even more delicate than their previous works,
the addition of bassist Clay Jones, drummer Todd Knapp and keyboardist
Searaig Hopgood lift the songs to soar and glide to new heights
with a spotlight on Brennan’s vocals..."

"Whether you're looking to hear some easygoing pop melodies, or something wickedly different, this is an awesome album."
