Here are some nice reviews of the new Pedro LP.
"Takes in Caribou psychedelia and Panda Bear otherworldliness, topped off with free-jazz skronking and hip-hop beats... Resulting in one of the most exciting musical adventures of 2008. 8/10" (NME)
"He's traded in restraint for unchecked bombast. You can forget about breezy flute melodies and judicious glockenspiel sweeps; On You, Me & Everyone Pedro is going for something more assertive and hyper." (Pitchfork)
"I forgot how enjoyable the results can be when musicians embrace their schizophrenic tendencies. Viva la menta illness. 9/10" (Vice Magazine)
"London's James Rutledge has been emerging from obscurity for some time, but now his genius is simply unmistakable." (XLR8r)

A man is lying in bed in a Catholic hospital with an oxygen mask over his mouth. A young auxiliary nurse appears to sponge his face and hands.
"Nurse," he mumbles from behind the mask, "Are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed the young nurse replies, "I don't know, I'm only here to wash your face and hands."
He struggles again to ask, "Nurse, Are my testicles black?"
Again the nurse replies, "I can't tell. I'm only here to wash your face and hands."
The ward sister was passing and saw the man getting a little distraught so she marched over to inquire what was wrong.
"Sister," he mumbled, "Are my testicles black?"
Being a nurse of longstanding, the sister was undaunted. She whipped back the bedclothes, pulled down his pajama trousers, moved his penis out of the way, had a good look, pulled up the pajamas, replaced the bedclothes and announced, "Nothing is wrong with them!!!"
At this the man pulled off his oxygen mask and asked again, "Are my test results back???
