PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE'S DIY REVIEW: JUNE 2003 ISSUE:

"For his solo record GOOD bye MOON, member of popular Maryland band Ben's Bones' Dan Haas enlisted "Joe, Marc's Brother" man and recent Guster touring member Joe Pisapia as producer along with a few friends, including David Mead and Josh Rouse, to help out on vocal and guitar duties. The resulting record is a dreamy, compelling, lush collection of smart lyrics and great music. Every aspect of each well-layered song is perfectly placed and necessary. Guitars, synth bleeps and strings swirl and rush over a solid, chunky rhythm section while Haas' vocals provide a perfect through-line. Falling right in the middle of the best contemporary independent pop, GOOD bye MOON is emotional, wistful and gutsy. Alternately luxurious and gruff, the tunes absolutely glitter with intelligence and talent."
