The Whimbrels (NYC): “A band with a line-up so rich in the roots of avant garde and no wave that supergroup does not do it justice." (Selective Memory) “The sound is dense, polyrhythmic, hard, and sweet, hooks and riffs to save your soul pop out at unexpected moments. The players’ credits – The Glenn Branca Ensemble (dating to the 1980s), The Swans, J. Mascis – predict the guitar-driven, sonic onslaught of The Whimbrels.” (Glide Magazine) “No wave luminaries unite in psychedelic rock in The Whimbrels, bringing all the squall and drone you’d expect, plus a surprising amount of psychedelic tunefulness.” (Dusted Magazine).
Luna Honey (Philly): “‘What is this?’ We might ask ourselves. Partly electronic, partly organic. Allusions to mysticism, esoteric subjects and ritualistic motifs keep popping up. Sometimes the music is willfully abrasive, at other times soothing and drifting. One minute this could be playing in a Twin Peaks diner scene, the next soundtracking goth kids in shades stalking a basement bar for their fix of Siouxsie & The Banshees.” (Ghost Cult Magazine)
Webb Chapel (Philly): “A noisy, art-y indie rock sound that evokes forbearers like Sonic Youth and the more tuneful side of their contemporaries in the experimental Philadelphia shoegaze scene.” (Rosy Overdrive)
