Press Reviews "This four song EP marks the post-Motorhome debut of multi instrumentalist Josiah Mazzaschi, it stirs up fond memories of the summer of '95. Back then, Motorhome sounded like a band poised for a national breakout; it never happened, but not because Mazzaschi couldn't come up with the tunes. Here, he piles on the keyboards to create a slightly spacier bedroom vibe, with equally evocative results." Greg Kot- Chicago Tribune "As the driving force behind the late, lamented Motorhome, Josiah Mazzaschi has long been a talent worth watching, a sharp songwriter with a flair for memorable melodies and a distinctive guitarist who builds on the disorienting, psychedelic noise of early '90s shoegazers such as My Bloody Valentine and Ride. With this strong four-song EP, he introduces a new project that continues in the tradition of his old band while growing even more daring in its sonic experimentation."
