Press Reviews By using the technical limits of his recording medium, Anderson fills every inch of the speakers with sound, creating a sensation of facing an overwhelming obstacle. Combining this sense of vulnerability with shy vocals makes for impressive, if uncomfortable, music. Once the tape ends and the ringing leaves your ears, you'll be left with a disconcerting feeling that things are quiet...too quiet. -Splendid zineThis tape really fits the Unread lo-fi aesthetic, as if he's not only singing in his bedroom but actually singing from under the covers on his bed, and the words are often drowned out by the distorted electric rock pulse he's usually singing with and the way it overloads the tape. The key to the songs is the atmospheres, which are more Kraut-y than you usually hear from Barlow-ilks. -BlastitudeLike a basement project with layers of Casio beats and shivery guitars--Portland Mercury
