"Like an anti-Magic Numbers - two boy, two girl outfit cut switchblade-like through the bon-homie.. With punching bass lines and tribal drums they roar with gutteral fury... Their infectious tunes are both beautiful and dark as well as upbeat... crystalline harmonies... brooding Mazzy Star-like epics... deathlessly sexy electronic pop..."»
