Press Reviews "Headless Household still seems to think that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Clever without being obnoxious, laid-back without snoozing, their quick-dissolve electric studiohead jazz offers an alternative--not exactly a revolution, more a wink than a nod: We haven't given up, how about you?...Awareness won't get you to heaven, but in this case it gets you pretty far." --Greg Burk, L.A. Weekly “The opening three performances reveal this cooperative's challenging scope…a precision, depth, warmth and ease of feeling that can rival any other outfit in the professional mainstream. Lovely stuff.” --David Lewis, Cadence "Santa Barbara's comically-inspired jazz-cum-anything quartet... fusion, country, folk, funk, surf, and even polka all mix together with just enough bite, humor, and variety to buck convention. Prime musical chops keep the irreverence focused... this household is all over the map; in terms of creativity and energy, the group is beyond category." --Roger Len Smith, Jazziz "Strange, cool rumblings from Southern California" --Jas Obrecht, Guitar Player. "It's hard to categorize these guys, though their music's playful, quirky, sometimes downright silly, sometimes quite soothing" --New Music Distribution Service Catalogue blurb.
