"Tartufi knows what they're doing... The San Francisco duo uses complex song structures to build what can only be described as sonic collages, employing unusual instrumentation and dynamic shifts to achieve a rolling-river feel to the songs. Each song on the disc takes its time in establishing the mood (there's only one song under five minutes), and there's a sense of continuity between the songs... Even better, the individual songs are strong examples of craftsmanship... Us Upon Buildings Upon Us is a success.You might not be able to dance to it, but you'll enjoy it nonetheless."
-Brandon Nolta, Boise Weekly (Boise, ID)
T A R T U F I TARTUFI is Brian Gorman and Lynne Angel. They are friends. They are Koko and kitten. They are tar and feather. They are thunder and lightning. They are Salt N Pepa (sans Spinderella).
“This is huge. Tartufi are just two but sound like twelve. Drummer Brian Gorman must have arms like continents, while the way Lynne Angel loops her vocals makes it seem like three personalities are battling it our for possession of her throat, Hold on to your brains.”
– Kev Kharas, NME
“A dizzying construct of lunatic prettiness that exists at some extra-dimensional intersection between noise, pop, folk, post-rock and who knows what else, ‘Nests of Waves and Wire’ is a mighty strange beast…it all flows together, like a fantastic alien river."
– Andrzej Lukowski, Rock Sound (UK)
4 Stars!”An expansive lattice of twinkling loops, math-rock crunch and none-more-giddy harmonies.”
– Mojo Magazine
"Part aggressive, experimental-noise rock, part delicate and lovely melody and completely awesome, Tartufi's live show is a marvel."
-Sarah Wengert, The Reader (Omaha, NE)
"Nine out of 10 buzz bands don't deserve it; Tartufi does."-A. Schacht, Creative Loafing (Charlotte, NC)
"Tartufi write songs like they're folding towels fresh from the dryer. Traveling the seam between coo and caw, the duo churn out lush and layered soundscapes that billow with cerebral grace, prog-perfect texture, and a deliciously abstract abrasion that our readers adore."
-TARTUFI Voted Best Indie Band 2007 -SF Bay Guardian
