about

"Girls Aliens Food is the best thing that's happened to power pop in a long time." -Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe

"[Girls Aliens Food is] one of the all-time great melodic long-players!" -Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

"There's something beautiful going on here. Unless I'm mistaken Jeff Boller (aka The Simple Carnival) is surely the new heir apparent to the Brian-Wilson-king-of-sunshine-pop crown." -Lobster Quadrille

"If Brian Wilson had a nice dad, this is the kind of music he would have made!" -Roctober

"STUNNING... HUGELY Recommended!" -Not Lame

"True artistry is rarely concerned about rock star status, and that's never more evident than in... Girls Aliens Food. The Simple Carnival embodies its name: after listening, you just want some cotton candy and a girl to ride the Ferris wheel with." -Amplifier Magazine

"'Flirt' is a blend of jazz piano, scat vocals, and finger-snapping rhythms so catchy that for the first week I heard the disk, I would consistently wake up dying to hear that track." -Redefine Magazine

"When I've had a song stuck in my head for a week and I'm still not ready for something else to take its place, I consider that a good sign. This week my mental jukebox has mostly been playing... The Simple Carnival." -Too Much Apple Pie

"My favourite band of this last week has got to be The Simple Carnival... They are a melodic pop music studio project created by a guy named Jeff Boller who must be the long lost son of Brian Wilson if the MP3s on the band's web site are anything to go by." -This Almighty Pop!
