"It's the sort of free-flowing, multi-part, pushing and pulling tambourine and hand drums, banjo-and-flute morass that starts off like pieces of a dream coalescing in your mind before slowly picking up tempo and layering on the drones and building into some fuzzed-out guitars and head-slapping cymbals, the sort of odyssey that you heard bubbling out from under the door or your high-school friend's older sister's room after she came back from that summer in Chicago." - Bret McCabe Baltimore City Paper
"Sri Aurobindo have embraced more varied instrumentation, and display great maturity in songwriting by channeling all manner of spiritual and elemental forces in pursuit of that holy grail of psychedelia: “pure sanity.”" - Greg Szetzo Aural States
"The first seven minutes are laced with flute and bells as guitars and drums begin to creep in throughout. Tribal drums and completely psyched out guitar work all drone until the volume jacks up." -Brett Yale

“This local, wooly-haired quartet plays unabashedly heavy psych, aiming for that outer space occupying the area between your ears.” -Bret McCabe Baltimore City Paper
“Sri Aurobindo could provide the soundtrack to an update of any of those anti-pot films of the 60’s, as their music is a hazy mix of early San Fran psychedelia mixed with Link Wray surf wah-wah, and trapped-inside the bong vocals. Oh, and there is flute. Loving, amazing flute.” - J. Diamond Hex Ed Journal
“…conscious, free-flowing Bohemians spreading the good vibes of avant-garde psychedelia.” – Alexa Williams Aural States
“Imagine if The Doors and Amon Duul II were frozen in the 60’s, and recently melted only to play in their mom’s garage together. If that combo gets you all giddy then Sri Aurobindo might be for you.” -Brett Yale Bmore Musically Informed
