Sounds Like: "Think Ray Davies of The Kinks thrown into a blender with The Flaming Lips and Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (probably not a good visual), and you have just scratched the surface of how musically and lyrically twisted this band is..."

"The last time we talked to Cave In's Steve Brodsky, he was raving about Boston's Thee Electric Bastards, whose expansive psych-pop falls somewhere in among Brodsky's solo material, the Zeppelin end of the White Stripes catalogue (but only if it was scored by an Elephant Six band), and Yoshimi-type Flaming Lips. And if that seems like an awful lot of territory, well, they cover a hell of a lot of it."--the Boston Phoenix
