REVIEWS:
"...creates three-headed songs by grafting cultures onto collaged beasts that growl with different tongues..."Be My Woman Be My Man" comes replete with DFA grooves and Herbert snorts..."We Do Supersonic" and "Dirty Liar" will have your dance floor moving..."Rainbowbeau" sees Larissa Gomes bouncing her voice off soft clouds of picazzo strings...my favorite is "Make Me Shake" [with] sentences that say so incredibly much with so little...as devastating as anything else this year...often surprising, mostly pleasing, and at a few moments (Make Me Shake, Da Riddim Griffin, and Coal Coal Black) fantastic..." -COKEMACHINEGLOW
"Sheer brilliance... haunting vocals. Top Ten CD of the year" -GLOBE & MAIL
"Four Stars. Breaks, house, reggae, exotic vocals... warrants repeated listens" -THE GAZETTE
