Discipline/Communication by Shmu
Fester- "Ten Tracks You Need" -The Pop! Stereo
"Top 10 mp3s of the Week" (regarding the 1st single "House of Stares") ~ Consequence of Sound
"[...] Psychedelic pop freakout. The piece plays choppily, with glitch-styled production stitching together drum beats, acoustic guitar and cut-up vocal patterns into a neon tapestry of sound. " (regarding the 2nd single "&hearts") ~ Exclaim
"Compared to the manic sensibilities of Zorch, Shmu brings a more chilled-out vibe with elements of pop and shoegaze, opting for some serious grooves rather than spacey synths." ~ ALARM Press
"4/5 stars" ~ SA Current
"Each track encompasses its own bizarre universe of sound, each the sonic equivalent of a 15-minute Adult Swim show [...] psychedelic mobiles swirling up ahead." ~ Redefine Magazine
“A quiet and unexpected triumph” ~ ThisIsNotAScene
