Professional Reviews
Uncut (p.129) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "They use laptop, synths, melodica and even a tuba, but rage with the full force of arty '80s hardcore acts..."
The Wire (p.55) - "Scranton pins down and propels the whole; offbeat, gestural rhythms predominate....[Their] febrile explosions and switchbacks are a vocabulary of their own..."
CMJ (p.7) - "[T]he band mostly free-spazzes into chaotic oblivion, but they do it in perfect melodic and rhythmic harmony."
