"...'Sonic Youth' meets 'The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion' somewhere in the air over a blacked out city. Parachuting from the plane comes 'My Way My Love' to free us from corporate programming and pre-fab bands and songs."
Better Propaganda
"Their layers of noise and clanking beats are reminiscent of Black Dice with elements of a fucked-up Sonic Youth...lyrics, which are sung in English, perfectly complement the music."

"Many consider the Pixies the Platonic ideal of a certain hardcore- pop style, of which copious transitory doppelgangers are merely cast shadows. But for every gross of mediocre Pixies imitators, there's a band that builds upon their legacy by appending their own specific
sensibility to it. It's prudent to note that these echoes are not usually the result of blatant imitation; rather, they're born from a genuine love and admiration for a work that inflamed the imaginations of so many people.
All art is some permutation of, or comment upon, the art its creator has internalized; what's crucial is that something is added to the mix. Without the Pixies' ascendancy, we wouldn't have the Nirvana we know. The same goes for Mclusky, who impressed their own distinct thumbprint and range of other influences on the Pixies' style. And
we probably wouldn't have Pidgeon's excellent marriage of boy/girl singing, shredded screaming, indie-pop, and blistering thrashcore-- the mansion they've built upon the foundation the Pixies laid by assimilating their own influences into a unique style."

"We might stretch comparisons to Elliott Smith or Simon and
Garfunkel when we hear such impeccable guitar work and such longing, tender lyrics. Pretty much as lush as the singer-songwriter thing gets. A rarity at the local level, even in a talent-rich city like San Francisco."
