"Between the wonderfully frustrated "Living a Lie," the heavily horned "Split the Difference," and the demanding "Broken Records" (which sounds like a grown-up version of one of Reggie & the Full Effect's bittersweet anthems, actually) the Aqueduct on Or Give Me Death is louder, thicker, and even more relentlessly catchy than any previous incarnation. While Aqueduct's 2005 release, I Sold Gold (also on Barsuk), may have made him adored within Seattle's music community as that quirky little pop act with that song about Guns N' Roses, Or Give Me Death will interest both current fans as well as those with a palate for something a little less saccharine, a little more bitter, and with more staying power."  (Stranger)

More press on OR GIVE ME DEATH

"Timeless pop meets twisted indie -- a metaphorical mash-up of Brian Wilson and the Flaming Lips -- in the one-man band called Aqueduct.... Every song is oddly classic and strangely irresistible -- 11 succulent missives from the garage-pop fringes."  (Boston Globe)

More press on I SOLD GOLD

"Like both the Starlight Mints and the Postal Service, Seattle-based duo Aqueduct turn an indie-rock foundation into an electronic expedition that launches the band into new realms of stargazing dream pop....

At the forefront of the music, though, is Terry's wry sense of humor, shown on songs like "As Close as Your Girlfriend Is Far Away" with the lines, "I hope you know I'm as close as your girlfriend is far away/and I have every interest in getting in the way/well that's just how the game is played these days./Too bad for you, pricks like me, well they come and go every day/they wreck your fucking life and fuck your wife and run away/until the day I die I'll always stay that way." Terry's refusal to bow to the delicate side of lyricism adds a cynical grit to the glossier moments of Aqueduct's pop, and only lodges the catchier elements further into your consciousness. In only five songs, Aqueduct conduct an attention to eclectic electropop that shows great promise for full-lengths to come."  (Stranger)
