Smashing review from Unpeeled.net

SOUNDS LIKE? Like nothing else you've heard, only artier, more operatic, with weirder time signatures and the pomposity turned up to 42. Or Bowie if he was the lead singer of The Darkness and they attended Goldsmiths and hung out in Camden. Only better than you imagine, if you can imagine that.

IS IT ANY GOOD? "Inevitably, she began spending more and more time with my machines. I returned home one night to find a corpse, surrounded by enough oxidised toast to fill every grain silo in the Tower of Babel." A sample lyric from the song 'Proctor Cylex'. And how about this reference to self love, "One day you know someone will catch you in the act and leave a cup of tea beside you, 'cos you cut corners." from the song 'I don't know if this is a matter for wardrobe or hairdressing'. If you like what you have just read then you may like this band. I could be very wrong, and so could this band, and so could you. It's a bit serious, but in a way that talks behind it's own back and tells people about that time it cruised for missiles on Hampstead Heath, misunderstanding everyone who came across its homing beacon. It's a trial of sad love affairs and organ grinding tastlessness, a pardigm caught in the swamps of sadness, an enlightened soul waving bladders on a stick while dressed for a funeral. An ode to life itself, with all the joy whispered from behind a closed hand. I am biased. I end every communication I write with the word toast instead of sincerely or faithfully, and that is exactly how 'Proctor Cylex' ends. We were made for each other, but for very different reasons. The madness prevails, its more fun than they let on.
