WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"Frightening yet endearing" – The New Yorker;
"A strangely narcotic collection of sexy (if slightly unsettling) songs" – TimeOut New York;
"His style is happily stream-of-conscious, weirdly romantic, even silly. This makes his approach to music and film making Duchampian, even fearless" – Philadelphia City Paper;
"Like a slyly arranged meeting between Mother Goose and Larry Flint" – Charleston Post;
"Otherworldy rock and roll that’s surprising and hilarious" – Elle Magazine;
"This gesamtkunstwerk revolves around a very distinct artistic vision" – Sentamentalist;
"Every album is a solar eclipse of images that emotes a strange euphoria in your bloodstream" – Panache;
"Their specialty is a dark and sometimes cryptic sarcasm that encases a surprising core belief in the power of love" – SOMA;
"Cory McAbee comes on like a modern William Blake, spinning twisted and surreal tales full of symbolism" -- Santa Barbara Independent;
"Cory McAbee is the closest thing to Leonardo da Vinci that we’ve got." -- SF Bay Guardian
"How to describe this? Disturbing, beautiful, and frightening, all in one savage aural assault" -- Etch Magazine
