THE THING: GREAT 4 STARS REVIEW IN UNCUT!
July 31, 2007Comments Off
"More punk jazz mayhem. From Scandinavia. Recent collaborators of Thurston Moore, this Norwegian based drums/bass/sax trio have earned infamy for their ear shredding free-jazz versions of White Stripes and PJ Harvey (they turn their hand to Ride The Sky by Lightning Bolt here). Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson can do delicate and ruminative (check his intro to Ornette Coleman`s Broken Shadows) but his default setting is a raspy, overblown screech that pitches up somewhere between Albert Ayler, Jimi Hendrix, a whinnying horse and the Benny Hill Show theme music, and is as thrilling as it is amusing and frightening" (4/5, UNCUT MAGAZINE)

120 DAYS: ANOTHER GREAT NME SINGLE REVIEW
July 24, 2007Comments Off
“As part of these Norwegians` mindmelting dreamscape valium drip of a debut album, Sleepwalking, is merely a three-minute, 28 seconds digression among much longer workouts where their psychedelic muscles are flexed a little better. Listening to it on it`s own, though, it seems a perfect introduction to Norway`s post-Kraut dreamers. It sounds almost like Martin Hannett dropping a a drim machine into the Baltic Sea, and lucidly captures the semi-transcendental experience of seeing them at a live show, which, let`s face it, everyone should do at least once in their life” (NME)
