TIMES ONLINE "track of the day" review for words are poison, 12/12/2008
" A delicate and melancholic guitar and drum intro soon blossoms into a widescreen, wall of sound groove with a blistering hi-hat, floor trembling bass and quietly compelling synths and sequencing. And like the best industrial electro-pop, even though it's lyrically a touch gloomy, it's a mesmerising 03:13 that somehow makes you feel reinvigorated and reenergised - a bit like a battery bunny after a pit stop.
There's also the matter of the beautifully despondent vocal. Lone Blomhoj's voice is hypnotically mellifluous one second and ear-poppingly haphazard the next; a bit like going for a quiet dinner with Eeyore and discovering that Tigger is your waiter. The chorus's anguished harmonies are given poignant breath and there's definitely something of a Dolores O'Riordan feel, even if the acrobatics aren't nearly so madcap. Her Danish-English pronunciations are also particularly charming; "take my chances" becomes "take my char-nces" for instance: brilliant.

Qmusic "track of the day" review for words are poison, 12/02/2008
" Dead Pixels are like some sort of grand project to foster harmony between nations. There are only five of them, but between them they draw on backgrounds in Egypt, France, Denmark and the UK.
The story goes that Danish singer Lone Blomhoj – who has a touch of Bowwowow’s Annabella Luwin and a smidgen of Toni Halliday about her her raw but soulful technique – was spotted by singing while working in a clothes shop and persuaded to sing on a few demo tracks. Rakes drummer Lasse Petersen also pops up to make a guest appearance on their recordings, adding his thunderous thud to the electronic beats.
So You Say is the B-side to next single Words Are Poison and was given a little extra sparkle by former Sneaker Pimp Liam Howe. It owes much to the post-punk clicking guitars of XTC, The Skids and even The Beat; Lone sounds frantic and feisty as she tires of excuses in a failing relationship over whipping synth drums not heard since the first wave of industrial electro-pop of the early 80s."
Artrocker magazine review
"Enigmatic lead singer, Danish Lone Blomhoj, is something of a young Bjork; beguiling and charming, her esoteric voice is one moment soft and the next minute escalating into full throttle octave-hopping.
They give pop a darker, sexier new sensibility, admirably avoiding the usual sonic pigeonholes and playing music like its all that matters. It's a feeling a lot of us can understand, but not many of us can sum it up in a four minute sonic argument of pounding drum, guitars and synthesized mishmash."
