"The sounds range from smooth crisp vocals to droning bass lines, cut up with sharp-edged drum rhythms and filtered through challenging guitar riffs, all bundled together in an amazing package that takes you far away." - Barry Roark, The Stranger "...a mix of dark, moody elements of post-punk rock, primal textures, and Eastern flavoring." - Phil West, The Seattle Times
"One of the very few bands around who actually deserve the tag 'alternative.'... In a subculture overflowing with BS and attitude and too often short on true musical inspiration it's great to hear the unself-conscious and fluid assurance with which this band incorporates its influences: elements of Beach Boys-style surf, Sun Studio rockabilly, world beat, sixties psychedelia and even Northwest grunge are merged into an organic and ecstatic whole." - MAF, Snipehunt
"They are too slow to be called World Beat, too upbeat to be called new age, too nineties to be called acid music,... too different to be alternative and too intriguing to be called rock." - Gail Jeanne McCracken, Urban Spelunker
"The band issues a refreshingly positive vibe, leading the audience (most of the time) to swaying, quasi-ecstatic dance." - Sixth Form
"They start with ethereal, Indian vibes with hooky and quirky sparing acoustic guitar rhythms, then trip into this blurry and falling groove sucking you in as your eyes close to the words' 'water.' Suddenly, as if being hooked in without knowing it, churning aggressive guitars work to accommodate your swaying motions." - Laura Horton, Pandemonium!
"The closest you can come to dancing under hypnosis." - University of Washington Daily
