One person stated, “They used to be the backing band for Ninja S*x Party. A bunch of white boys playing some of the smoothest electronic funk you’ve ever heard. Killer licks, literal keytar, and SLAPP would make Davie504 proud. Plus, the lead singer can kick real high and use nunchucks. No seriously. Dude is whipping nunchucks around all the time, and he’s good at it. And they have some of the most unabashedly optimistic tracks I have ever heard. Every one of their albums has a Sagan-esque exaltation of the wonder and providence of our existence in the cosmos.”
