Sounds Like
lush and cinematic, jazzed out, prog rock played and enhanced by vibraphones, two drummers, electric guitars, samples, and bass. soundtrack-ish movements that dip into the funky, melodic, psychedelic, 70's/80's hip hop dance party now and again. something like that.
a boom of sound packed with odd meters, psyched out tones and beautifully spooky melodies. "philly's secret weapon" A.D. AMOROSI CITY PAPER Jan 2007
