"Hiding out like crooks on the run, the Can Can Heads riddle the immediate area with an exceptionally angular form of spastic noise. Suggestive of an early-day TFUL 282, this erratic Finnish conglomerate is just as much at home trolling through hook-laden riffs as they are collapsing their song structures into free-form improvisation. Crashing drums and lively guitars jump from one tempo to the next, pushing the envelope when it comes to harnessing musical chaos. Saxophones, trumpets and muddy samples mingle on several of the ten tracks that are jammed onto this white 7". As speedy and crisp as The Minutemen, and as absurd and deconstructionist as Melt-Banana, the Can Can Heads can take you almost anywhere when this beauty is on the turntable." -Splendid e-zine
