Press Reviews From Magnet magazine: "The four members of Beware of Clevo bring a mature, grad-school philosophizing mentality to the moody psychedelia of their first full-length release, Stereo-Boss Insomnia. The band deserves a fair amount of praise for incorporating-- in no particular order--violin, mandolin, ukulele, coronet, bass, 12-string acoustic guitar, harmonica and three different vocalists into the mix without making a mess of things. Songs such as "Between A Stitch Job," Threshold Of A Rant" and "A Stone's Throw" have rambling, shapeless structures that manage to hold together." ---Feb/Mar 1997--- From Your Flesh magazine: "Whole lotta pro-forma, post-psych-revisionary, ramshackle rattling goin' on. Beware of Clevo tangle with roughly tuned guitars aplenty, amiably shambling through loose, spacey tunes that can be focused into song-thangs or just jambo-reek away ditheringly. Gently dissonant, structurally diffuse, dreamy cold-creamy an' spontaneous. Sounds like they emerged from six mos. of rec room jamming that started without nary an agenda or preconception. All nice 'n' norm for mid-'90s coll. rock. The one distinguishing point here is male 'n' female tort 'n' retort call and respont vocalesing: ver' charming as the looseness of the weave feels authentically intimate--sounds like languid after-dinner repartee." --- Summer, 1997 ---
