This is psychedelic mutant garage blues which sounds as if Howlin’ Wolf had taken a particularly nasty acid tab, while the vocals would put Tom Waits to shame.(windmillbrixton.com)

Raw Genius (NME)
Out of tune guitars clang and the bass and drums shuffle just right enough to raise the ghost of willie dixon, track down captain beefheart circa safe as milk and have a chat with the la's. And the singer's raspy vocal might just shatter your lightbulbs.
