"Each track crackles with ludic inspiration, from the seamy, distorted brass scoring Let 'Em Talk, to the itchy rhythms, bristling woodwind and man-handled pianos of Snow, to Never Die, a stark showcase for Cooper's eloquent octave guitar. Meanwhile, Dimotsis's vocals - multi-tracked, wilfully layered and purposefully miked too close and too hot - evoke D'Angelo, Daryl Hall and Tom Waits, occasionally on the same track".
