"An abundance of good ideas. Their experimental vibe applied to noise and rock makes each song seem divided and sewn into a whole, with vocals pouring in from some weird abyss. Thoughtful and poetic." --the Deli Magazine
"Art rockers in the coolest sense of the word, these folks are playing music that truly does not sound like anyone else out there." --babysue.com
"they seem to have captured David Bowie in his splendid '70s glam to bottle him up, shake it about, and spit forth... excellent indie rock with all the spicy flavors of intelligent conversation." --smother.net
" a wild and brainy rush... like a cross between XTC inventive dissonance and B-52s style crazed tomfoolery." --thenoise-boston.com
Impulsive, catchy inventions in new wave, rock, pop, punk a la XTC, Wire, X and other bands whose names start with letters late in the musical alphabet. Absurdly musical; lyrically savage. Brilliant and beautiful.
