"… alla fine finisce che uno dei migliori dischi pop dell’anno lo pubblicano due ragazzi di Roma, Dominique D’Avanzo e Emanuele Sterbini, che dietro la ragione sociale di Sterbus danno alle stampe con “Let Your Garden Sleep In” una delle migliori scalette dell’anno, se quello di cui andate in cerca sono le melodie dei Pastels e la verve gentile dei Belle and Sebastian, ma anche gli steroidi chitarristici che irrobustiscono da trent’anni le filastrocche pop dei Guided By Voices o le melodie a presa rapida dei They Might Be Giants."
