Reviews of their latest vinyl release Neon Glitz:

MARISSA ABRUZZINI, TOURWORTHY.COM
“Their music has a cabaret tone that I’ve never heard before in an electronic group, and it’s absolutely fascinating.”

YABYUM (TALKING ABOUT THE ALBUM NEON GLITZ)
“It tackles not only styles and genres rarely blended together (let alone, so fluently), but also addresses in its lyrics issues and concepts many are afraid to even consider.””
