"Raybon’s love of synths is loud and clear on his latest single…a track inspired by an early morning trip to his favorite pizza place, germophobia, and the search for a sense of belonging."-Artemis Thomas-Hansard, Noisey
“Not every teenager has to write music that sounds like what’s charting on Billboard’s top 100.”-Staff, The Revue
“Some people feel as though they were born in the wrong time period, but new wave revivalist Eli Raybon might actually be one of those people.”-Lisa D'Arrigo, Indie Minded
“Computer, Don’t Kill Me” straddles the line between melancholy post-punk balladry and cognizant kitschiness, deploying an array of wild analog synths that include the odd noodling of a stylophone, an instrument which to my knowledge hasn’t appeared since David Bowie used one on “Space Oddity.”-Mike Olinger, Ones to Watch
“Raybon's distinctive retro aesthetic seems 100% genuine, which begs the question - why is this Post-Millennial channeling 80's-era John Hughes soundtrack pop?”-Mike Olinger, Paste Magazine
"I’m no fan of uncertainty. But Raybon seems to feed off of that with how he does things. He’s got big dreams and a skilled sense of delivery that’s disarming."-Incendiary American
“Eli Raybon has done everything in his skinny armed, neophyte power to return synth-infused pop to the collective consciousness. And if that objective at all seems like a long shot, outlets like Vice and Paste have already endorsed him as a maestro of the form.”-Erick Mertz, Bearded Magazine
