fantastic creative energy and passion from this band - shouting harmonies and foot stomping rhythm - you'll hear it most in I Woke Up Today a song that sends me flying around the room like a little child - Close the Lid is another stand out song

delightfully scatterbrained art rock; psychedelic without being hippie/granola; effervescent feminine vocals

tangles of guitar, knots of singing, threads of beat and thump make a rope fit for hauling the heavy machinery of your day - Thao

Madlib went on KCRW's Chocolate City and did a live mix. KCRW archived that mix and have offered it as a free download.

brutish throb, electronic, art rock - Liars is a three-piece band consisting of Australian-born Angus Andrew (vocals/guitar), Aaron Hemphill (percussion, guitar, synth), and Julian Gross (drums).

HUMPH - that's how AS can come at you like the power of a well thrown punch to the gut. Ffsshh - that's the cool breeze he can fan your way. Emcee and spoken word poet Amir Sulaiman has depth and range that few rappers can claim today. Powerful and beautiful like a tiger poised to take his prey.

Some find 'em difficult, but give it a few listens, let your mind wrap around it, and it'll be worth the effort. Great care has been taken crafting these beautifully morose songs. Highly creative!

Rob Crow has churned out some smashing solo material. Without straying to far from his past up-beat and playful style, sharpened during tenures with the likes of Heavy Vegetable and Pinback, his music has matured. There's only one song here, but it's definitely worth a listen.
