was met with critical acclaim. Rolling Stone named it one of the “best albums of 2005". The song “Equation #6” was featured in another Michel Gondry film and soundtrack, for The Science of Sleep. Gondry said he wants “to be the Warhol to their Velvet Underground”. The band released an accompanying DVD of 20 music videos for Talk In Circles entitled See In Squares. The band was featured in a documentary about the founder of Sympathy for the Record Industry entitled The Treasures of Long Gone John. The band released their third album, Chautauqua, in 2007 on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records. It was recorded in Piermont, New York at Paul Kostabi’s Thunderdome studios. The album introduced a much heavier guitar sound for the band. It is much more riff oriented and the songs are generally medium tempo. Spin magazine described “Evil Son” (the first single off the album) as “enlivened with lush orchestral arrangements and a pregnant guitar solo straight out of a 1960s acid trip.” Spin also went on to say, “Other tracks such as 'Jubilee' evoke blues, folk and even country influences, showcasing the Willowz’ carefully honed stylistic prowess." Michel Gondry's son Paul Gondry directed a music video for the song on the album entitled, "Take A Look Around" collaborating with artists Valerie Pirson, Will Robertson, Owen Levelle, Shoko Komori, Ivan Abel, Christi Bertelsen, Yota Bertrang and Paul Barman. The Willowz released their fourth album, Everyone, in 2009 on Dim Mak. The band went to Dallas, Texas to record with producer Stuart Sikes. The record focuses on a more power pop sound and sees the band getting back to their garage rock roots. A Tiny Mix Tapes review states, “Unlike their three previous full-length efforts, Everyone sees The Willowz complete their transformation from just-fucking-around California punks into a well-oiled, hit-producing machine." The title track was featured in an HBO Spring 2011 commercial spot entitled “Here We Come” (a lyric from the song) for their upcoming season of shows. Another song from the album, “Repetition”, was featured in a Mountain Dew Kickstart commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and a Mead notebook commercial. The band was recently featured in Netflix Steve Aoki documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. The band’s fifth studio album, entitled Fifth, received a summer 2017 release on Thrill Me Records.
