"[T]here are no songs here that aren’t brimming with things to listen to. The arrangements are often complex, with frequent shifts in tempo and tone and wild, iterative extrapolations on a theme or idea... This kind of restless hopping from sound to sound is the thing that makes the album both interesting and endearing. Foma clearly have a ton of talent and a wide range of influences, resulting in a record that’s both well-crafted and unpredictable."

"There is plenty of space between the monolithic slabs of generic music that allows for bands like Foma to spring up, here on the verge between folk and indie-rock they find their niche by adding some viola and cello to create a sound that can’t quite be pinned down but it certainly can be enjoyed."

"Inverness is full of complexities in it’s design and build yet is very organic in its execution... [T]he record is in general constructed around jangly acoustic guitars, chiming electric guitars, and a tandem of viola and cello lines to flesh out the melodic structures. The group throws together a variety of neat little instrumental tricks to add enough color to the mix to keep the listener interested from first song to last."

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
