PRESS

"Whacked out first single by an art/ performance duo from New Orleans, whose approach makes me think of what an aktionist take on Gilbert & George might be like. The single has quite a bit of sledgehammer work, police sirens, detonations and jollity of all manner – some with ‘real’ musical qualities, while other parts will have you guessing. But hey, that’s half the fun."
-- Byron Coley, Size Matters, The Wire
