"After three albums inspired by sounds of West Africa (including BKO, a collaboration with the Tuareg trailblazers of Tamikrest), the Australian-American group (once a trio, now a duo) heads north to Turkey to work with a whos-who of the modern Bosphorus psychedelic scene ... Dirtmusic is a band with a quest, a purpose, and while the narrative that binds the album together is never so explicit that it becomes musical theater, the story is there, unquestionably, and told in sounds that truly enrapture".

"The world is a hard, cold place. The snarls of hate and intolerance are everywhere, and words just seem to bounce off the walls and fences that have been erected. For Dirtmusic, the reaction is physical, a mix of angular, fractured dance that nods heavily to their explorations in Mali, and a modern psychedelic collaboration with electric saz player Murat Ertel of labelmates Baba Zula. Recorded in a garage in Istanbul, there's a sense of immediacy about it, and a constant undercurrent of anger in the face of hopelessness and a feeling of looming dread, especially in the thick washes of the title track. At times it vanishes into a deep hole of dub, at others the immediacy is frightening in its intensity ... Album by album, Dirtmusic's sound has been growing darker, and this is painted in furious wipes and swirls".
