"Cleveland's best unknown songwriter strikes again. . . . Every couple of years, Cleveland songwriter Mike Uva tosses off an album of sublime jangle pop, tangled with wry, self-observant lyrics, melancholy chord progressions and encased in warmly lo-fi production values. . . . as catchy as Bob Pollard, as slyly subversive as Lou Barlow, as effortlessly melodic as Nick Salomon. . . . There are hooks everywhere you look here.” --PopMatters

“Mike mutters, croons, and casts his tunes with characters knowingly submitting to their nerves ('Like Water You Press') or their id ('Flip Me Over'). . . . Mike not only handles his words well, but understands the mechanics of classic tunesmanship.” --Ed Sotelo

“The strength in this release lies in the honesty and simplicity of its arrangements.” --I Rock Cleveland

“At times, Mike Uva's tunes remind us of The Feelies, Richard Thompson, and Ray Davies . . . and that's just the beginning. Instead of burying his songs in technology and too many overdubs, he presents them simply using only the bare essentials. . . . Love them gee-tars. Subtle smart pop tracks.” --Babysue

“Graced by tambourines, electric piano and stunning lyrical narratives, Uva's work seems to have found a balance between stripped-back instrumental grace, purposeful intention, and an intrepid flair for the quirky. . . . Grant-Lee Phillips once said that everyone needs a little sanctuary. Static Songs is exquisite . . . and just the ticket.” --Cool Cleveland
