Most reviews at right.

". . . a mighty interesting combination of the avant-garde and the melodic . . . Rumor is the trio met in a Kansas jail cell, all tripping on vast amounts of LSD. Or maybe they just sound that way."
-Andrew Aber
The Village Voice


"Among the fragments of Bryan Zimmerman's talk poetry vocals, the lyric 'edge-city arcades' stuck with me, as it encapsulates well this Brooklyn trio's urban pastoral sound. Simple guitar arpeggios mesh with accordion tones and gently dissonant violin to evoke a slow ramble through the back lots of a suburb in an early frost. Nostalgic and poignant, but without cliche sentiment, the band has echoes of Palace or the Dirty Three, but retains its own personal imagery and feeling."
-TK Dufresne

"ragged and rustic . . . psychedelic"
