..jedan od najljepših hrvatskih albuma svih vremena i jedan od najboljih ovogodišnjih albuma uopće…   (Goran Pavlov, Pot Lista)

…remek-djelo iz spavaće sobe… (Vedran Harča, Rolling Stone, 5/5)

…jedan od albuma koje vrijedi imati na vinilu… (Zlatko Gall, Slobodna Dalmacija, 5/5)

…najbolji ovogodišnji kantautorski album… (Dubravko Jagatić, T-Portal, 9/10)

…domaći album godine… (Jelena Svilar, Ravno Do Dna, 9/10)

…odlična ljetna ploča… (Predrag Brlek, Terapija, 9/10)

…album The Marshmallow Notebooks nije samo kreativna špica ovdašnje nego i inozemne indie-pop i lo-fi produkcije… (Aleksandar Dragaš, Jutarnji List, 4/5)

…divan album zrelog autora… (Mirsad Mujkanović, Zli Hadžo, 4/5)

…album godine. Da, i u domaćoj i stranoj konkurenciji… (Andrija Škare, Ruralna Gorila)

…ovaj album pravo je lo fi pop draguljče ljeta Gospodnjega 2013… (Anđelo Jurkas, Net.hr)

…u svakom je segmentu riječ o albumu svjetskih razmjera koji zvuči kao da je izašao iz studija neke nezavisne američke diskografske kuće… (Ziher.hr‘s top 25 Croatian albums since 1991)

…jedna od najlepših pop ploča koju je bilo ko snimio na Balkanu poslednje decenije… (Ivan Lončarević, Pop Depresija)

…na regionalnoj sceni ove godine, ako izuzmemo River Sand od Wooden Ambulance, ja još ne videh bolju ploču… (Srđan Strajnić, Serge Stray’s Point of View)

…quelque chose, dans les chansons de Matija Habijanec, me remue les entrailles. Comme si ce mec, dont je ne sais quasiment rien, parlait à ma place. Au final, la musique, ou l’écriture en général, ça touche juste quand les mecs réussissent à dire ce que tu ressens, mais en mieux… (Cédric Queniart, J’ai tout lu, tout vu, tout bu…)

…some days, in a rock landscape decimated by commercial warfare and cybernetic hubris, it feels like the music really has died. Like an ‘American Pie’ nightmare, temporarily staved off by Don McLean and Eugene Levy, has returned in surreal fashion to destroy popular music.  And then I imagine myself a tourist, wandering down a street on a late summer evening in Zagreb, coming across a spontaneous performance by The Marshmallow Notebooks, crawling into the warmth.  I have no money for the performers.  Matija sings to me, “Put it on my tab.”… (Colin J Campbell, Toronto, Summer 2016)

Matija Habijanec aka The Marshmallow Notebooks is a singer-songwriter from Croatia. The North American vinyl reissue of 'The Marshmallow Notebooks' album was released by Ill in the Head Records in December 2016.
