REVIEW IN THE NOISE ROCK AROUND BOSTON 12/08 issue:
Pretty nice stuff for a self-designated side project. “Echolocation” has a bizarre and inimitably Bostonian early-’80s avant ambiance, what with its ooky compressed feel and unapologetic pulsing bass line and affiliated high weirdness. Think the Girls smashing headlong into the B-52s. “Upside Down (Side Two) In Love” has distorted helium vocals, like the Chipmunks essaying a hands-on desecration of Buddy Holly. Are they serious? Probably not. But who cares? (Francis DiMenno)
