"Death Valley Girls have collectively crafted a record worthy of their dusty Californian roots, an album which is a step up from any previous works featuring some of their most infectious jaunts"

"Death Valley Girls continues their melding of dreamy psych excursions, 50's girl group pop, and garage rock riffs ... A buzzing/pulsing intro of mysterious vocals and ominous drums greet the listener on album opener "California Mountain Shake" as the band keeps their fluttering psych rock flowing, adding swelling strings and a sense of lost love to close the swirling track. Shifting gears they pump up the shimmy and shaking on the new wavey jam "Magic Powers" before the group lay down a garage rock foundation, only to soar away from it via intriguing harmonies and rising anthemic pop on the dynamic title track ... Death Valley Girls have softened musically with each release, adding more pop influences, and digging more into the spiritual hippy cosmos of the we-are-all-in-this-together vibe. They also have continually improved, as Islands in the Sky is their best album to date"
