“By embracing the rough edges and eschewing performance in favor of creation, his musically reclusive style has fed on itself and grown into a singular voice all its own.” - Graham W. Bell
“Shishkin’s latest album, Good Times, is collection of 12 tracks made from scratch in four days. He and producer Bradford Krieger came to the project with no notes and no ideas, favoring a lean, fluid approach to songwriting.
“On his eleventh long-player, Shishkin offers an eclectic amalgamation of Indie, Jazz, Americana, and Slacker Rock. All in all, the album is a study on ping-ponging around a studio, experimenting with new ideas, and corralling spontaneity.” - Jamie Halliday

“[The] carefree word-play recalls Stephen Malkmus' imperial run, or even Ty Segall's more lucid, sedate moments.” – CLASH MUSIC
“Shishkin’s compositions are always unassuming, but they’re never inessential.” – STEREOGUM
“...Restless lo-fi chameleon...A fuzzy dose of clever pop songs and slacker “college rock” charm.” – POST-TRASH
“A muddy and bizarre piece of bedroom pop that effectively merges a Sparklehorse/Grandaddy-ish chorus with verses that are closer to something by the Butthole Surfers.” – ROSY OVERDRIVE
“As inventive as it is relaxed, the whole thing buoyed by a sense of patience and curiosity as it explores whatever avenue seems appropriate.” – VARIOUS SMALL FLAMES
“Alexei crafts a jangly and lo-fi rock triumph, drawing elements from iconic bands like lo-fi Gods Pavement, living legends Built To Spill, and indie mavericks Neutral Milk Hotel.” – LAST DAY DEAF
“A blend of comforting rock familiarity with captivating original songwriting, “Rose Gold” is another strong showing from Shishkin.” – OBSCURE SOUND
“A man who is in the most literal sense all about the music, the creativity and the recording.” – FOR THE RABBITS
