Reviews:
'Both 'Antlers' and 'The Idiot' are cut from a different cloth from your standard 4/4 time, 12-bar rock. Instead the guitar lines bleed off in countless directions like dabs of watercolour paint, while the rhythm slinks through unfathomable shifts and progressions.'
-The Scotsman

'acute melodic sensibility and complex blend of airy jazziness with truckloads of intricate guitar-work'
-The List

'maturity and variation on the oft repeated math rock forumala give them an almost unique sound'
- Seperated by Moterways

'Clever Intricate, spindly guitars underscore yearning vocals'
- The Scotsman

'they channel the spirit of the Mars Volta away from the excesses of jazz obscurantism and towards the relative safety of post-rock. Some impressive fret-board virtuosity'
- The skinny

'Scotland's most accomplished math rock act'
- Under the Radar

They meld elements of Minus the Bear, American football and Maps and Atlases. Think of delicately constructed tapping melodies, hints of jazz and experimental vocals forming into a melting pot of ambiently inspired math-rock.'
- Alter-Nativ

Awwww you guys are too kind. :)

Not much is up with me. Now I'm back from New York it's just a lot of working and making the most of free films I get. And getting drunk of course. Also been buying gig tickets with money I don't have. Go me. Not tickets to see you though. Hurry up and get a Stirling/Dundee date fellas!

Oh also I was hearing you did a cover of Darien Venture's Thumbwar. Any chance you still have it?
