Ears Like Golden Bats is the third album by My Teenage Stride. Lawrence Lui of CokemachineGlow.com gave it a 69% rating, stating "taking C86 pastoralism and refracting it through the prism of ‘90s lo-fi Amer-indie, Ears Like Golden Bats projects a treble-happy modesty that can be at once charming and cloying".[2] Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters described it as "wonderful stuff".[3] Alistair Fitchett, in Tangents, described it as "one of the finer albums of the year".[4] Magnet featured it in its top 20 albums of 2008 list, and it has appeared on many top 10, 20, and 100 album and song lists in the blogosphere.
