If The Pixies and My Bloody Valentine double-dated with The Beatles and The Shangri-Las, then a mashup
of them all making out would sound like "Muppets."
~ present magazine

Traditional song craft, melody and structure stand
hand in hand with anarchy and chaos.
~ the tripwire

The song "Muppets" features a slowly evolving guitar riff with a 90's angular, early Built to Spill feel
and the fuzzy, distant vocal melodies familiar to fans of My Bloody Valentine. The stellar
pop-gem "I Smell Like Smoke" could be a Guided By Voices b-side with its addictive
lo-fi melody that rises above punky acoustic guitar strumming
