    ...."Appealingly entropic pop, in which sunny melodies vie with tweaked-out masses of pure sound."-..  ....Time Out New York ............"We Have Won.., from ..True Primes.., is one of those special records that mixes elements that you wanna hear together: Think the shambolic living room mess of ..Shadow Ring.. (but dynamic and not funny or monologue-ish) meets ..Majick Markers.. (gentler and not as go-for-it, but definitely getting there more consistently), occasionally backed by the communal/unison vibe from some close friend of ..La Monte Young.. or ..Tony Conrad... Slow-crashing instruments and relentless caveman drums share airspace with united vocals and ascending noise. I couldn't keep from liking this better than ..Charalambides.. (admittedly, I'm not the biggest Charalambides fan to each, their own); it had that gentle, female-led vocal thing, but offset by a focused sense of intermittent chaos. Things suddenly and inevitably get wild --my kinda shi%. The balance of force and letting things happen is cool.... True Primes is good. This is pleasingly liberating music peppered with small doses of transcendence."     ..Other Music.........."Absolutely fucXing extraordinary." ..Foxy Digitalis........"There is an argument to be made that there are two predominant ways to approach the creation of experimental/noise music. One is more cerebral; it maintains a certain precision and relies on theoretical concepts. The other turns to a more groovy-hate-fuck vibe and, while certainly indebted to avant-garde theories, tends to place the cathartic over the composed. True Primes, the Brooklyn duo of Rolyn Hu and Che Chen explore a third option. The duo’s debut EP on Locust, We Have Won, is built on skittering drum patterns and warped rhythms - burnt electronic bursts, Ono-inspired ecstatic bleats, and perhaps just a hint of folk song."     ..Dusted Reviews.........."A swelltastic slice of impov-sounding garage noise beauty; True Primes' We Have Won provides a small amount of percussive racket, as on the opening title track, guitar mumbles and flies like a ..Low.. outtake, and then spazzes; the tone is total in-the-parking-garage fuzz. And who knows what she's singing about, but there's dropping notes, encroaching backing vocals which receive insane digital treatment, like ..Tuvan.. throat singing shot through a moog, and then they disappear to allow the gorgeous sung female melody to re-emerge. Yeah. Did I say Yeah? That's only the first track. Track 2, "In the Surf" left us breathless, a tribal beat arriving and leaving for feedback and key terrorism, and then weird wordless singing that includes orgasmic sounds. There's no real good way to describe We Have Won, but this is definitely the sound of all the parts of indie rock taken apart and put back together again in a new way." ..AmpCamp............T....
