| | Castanets: Cathedral - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Raposa ends the album with a matched pair of songs: "We Are the Wreckage" and "Cathedral 4 (The Unbreaking Branch and Song)". | | | Most of the songs rely on acoustic or slide guitar, backed with steady percussion. | | | On Cathedral, Castanets' debut album, Raposa starts with a country-folk sound, but steadily brings in odd noises and unusual song structures in order to create something original. |

| | The core of the Castanets is the lyrical and musical talent of Raymond Raposa. | | | The "songs" squeak by like Castanets got denied the right to do the soundtrack music for "The Slaughter Rule" and instead turned the same wretched results into a full-blown album. | | | Cathedral, the first nationally released album by San Diego’s Castanets, introduces a unique new voice in avant-country. |

| | Castanets + I Heart Lung - PopMatters Concert Review |
| | Here comes Castanets, this band receiving praise from all over, from people -- myself included -- who generally find it a daunting task to add this band to any sort of musical context. | | | Perhaps most hilarious is the often-made conclusion after listening to Castanets' 2004 record Cathedral that Raposa, and whatever company he might be toting, rides a line connecting country with jazz. | | | Oldham has never claimed to be much of an improviser whereas Raposa's song structures are far from straightforward. |

| | San Diego's Castanets, whose non-CDR debut has just been released by the Asthmatic Kitty imprint, express a similar fascination with swamp-culture, and the contemporary repercussions of age-old traditions. | | | Nodding briefly to Six Organs of Admittance and the No-Neck Blues Band, the band leers large at American country's longstanding definitions: For Castanets, country music should sound like death, and more specifically, death-by-murky-submersion. | | | Unsurprisingly, Heaney had written about these bogs before, often cataloguing the stalled, ancient objects that had been dug up, wholly unchanged, from their weird, sludgy depths. |

| | Barring a couple of surprisingly lean, poppy tracks, the second Castanets album picks up where the first left off, stringing together disembodied fragments of gothic Americana with brief, freaky interludes. | | | Both tracks feature lean click-tracks and crunchy rock embellishments; they're uncommonly kinetic for a Castanets album, but if they're peppier in sound, ultimately, they're just as grim in tone: "No one jailed us," Raposa sings on the latter, "haphazard hearts took no sure stance." | | | The other is "No Voiced was Raised", yet another negation. |
