'the insular fusion of funk, jazz and rock that this outing contains is clearly quite talented and takes on many faces as numerous musical avenues are explored... A cavalcade of sounds flesh out the poignant instrumentation and witty songwriting, and while unexpectedly catchy, there's a recurring thread of dementia that runs through their music. It is this curious nature that gives it a puzzling, if not psychotic appeal.' - THEPRP.COM
