About Cutting Ties

"Boggs' debut LP, Cutting Ties, features the same saccharine songwriting that made 2007's The Wolf EP a local hit, but Boggs hasn't wasted the last two years repeating himself. With Cutting Ties, he elevates his once annoyingly precious sound to an appealingly mellow—and occasionally bittersweet—pop-rock."

- The Onion's city guide: Decider DC

"We Were Pirates is Mike Boggs, a DC native who has moved from awkward indie pop into the realm of power pop. It's an improvement."

- The Glorious Hum

“Great chorus, this one rocks along quite nicely. A bit of a change from the wonderful pop that went before it.”

“Nice 50's-ish melody going on. I like the addition of the synth to their sound.”

“This one is a little spooky, with creepy keys, sinister guitar and urgent vocals. Boo!”

“I didn't know anyone ever recorded this song. This was written by a woman who lost her boyfriend. She consulted Phil Collins on how to write a break up song. It was featured on This American Life. Great tune!!”

“Love the stripped down bits in the verse, staccato guitars backed with a bouncy bass. Nice!”

“A little bit of Beach Boys influence here, perhaps? Until the keys come in, and then it takes off on its own pop power.”

“Great song, smooth lyrics and easy to remember. If you like this song, you'll like the rest!”

“I bit too lo-fi cutesy pop for me and a little of this goes a long way, but there are some nice ones here and this is one of the more infectious.”
