"They have soul. soul is good."

"Dacha (In The Summer)', makes me want to get my Rumba on in some poorly lit club, all wasted on sugary cocktails.... It should be too much but somehow it isn't and keeps you coming back not just to this song, but the whole EP, just to see if you really heard what you thought you heard.
If you're looking for a departure from the standard indie template then give Dacha a listen - Kochka might just be the band you've been waiting for.."

"You'll be lucky if you don't find your feet reacting involuntarily with the floor throughout this one.. this band is on the ascent."
