"Though he's done lots of behind the scenes work, remixes, and other production-oriented music under his own name, Sum/One is an official debut for DeGraw, as he operates under the roundabout monogram bEEdEEgEE for this collection of spectral electronica, mind-altering beats, and mutant pop. Breaking out solo usually entails unexpected strikes at songwriting from voices relegated to the shadows of their parent bands, but with Sum/One, it's DeGraw's lovingly freaked production that's the star of the show".
