"8/10...They are carving out their own niche in what can be a cookie-cutter genre".
Every Bunny Nestle
"This is the best sort of local tunage I've heard in a while"
KUCI
"A really awesome 90s Midwest sound...quite reminiscent of Cap’n Jazz...The energy in this is quite something and the slower parts of some tracks suggest that there’s another level of this band that we are yet to fully see.
ACIDMATH
"...a debut loaded with happy instrumental math.. beautiful melodic work, I kid you not: This is a true winner!"
Pinnacle Magazine
"The ten songs on the band’s debut are an entertaining ride through every imaginable corner of the math rock genre"
Disagreement.net
A huge two-headed suricate, drugged up to the eyeballs with caffeine, adrenaline and endorphins...for those, who think “Battles” are too sterile or who are waiting for a lofi-punk-instrumental-version of “Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains”
Silence Is A Sound
"Dreamy/sparkly/fun math rock... the visual equivalent of this album is a pond with rainbow fishes jumping in and out of it while a big polar bear dances in the middle. The bear is on top of a revolving and floating glass cube. Inside the cube, Littlest Viking rocks out!"
Aerophones and Aeroplanes
"I just discovered this amazing band. Just two guys, guitar and drums and they kind of sound like the lesser sterile version of battles. These guys rock, brilliant!"
Open Your Arms And Welcome
"...there are some fine hooks and some solid ideas spread across tracks such as “Joe the Actor”, which features a lovely harmonic melody and a not-quite-ambient bridge, and “Robert Palmer is Die for a Critical Evaluation”, which steps up from a nicely motorik rhythm into some fine rock-riffery" The Silent Ballet
