This is what the press has said:
"dour, claustrophobic sounds ... working atmospheric electronic effects into a minimal, vaguely industrial ambience." [Flagpole Magazine - Athens, GA]
 
This is what others have said:
"Your music is making me concerned for your mental health as well as my own... in the mood I am in, I love the organ, but it makes me want to hurt myself or cry and cry and cry..."
"I kept imagining three small, transparent, ghostly girls dressed in white flowing gowns playing on a marry-go-round... I could imagine one of the girls pushing another one off, landing on her rear end facing the merry-go-round. They would look intently at one another as if they were going to kill for revenge... then start laughing because they were already dead.
"You an I should start a band. That one song on myspace remeindes me of Arab Strap"
"The song 'Search for' actualy made me stop everything I was doing and turn it up as loud as my speakers would allow so that I could hear everything you had to say.... I actually started crying while I was listening to it. It mad me so sad."
"Shit that just sounds creepy"
"Sounds like a song off a David Lynch film sound track"
"It sure has a mood... like a scene in a murder movie when the killer's about to strike or maybe a sci-fi scene with some alien. I think this is a pretty original sound...like an exerpt from the outer limits."
"I feel like somebody turned me inside out. The homunculous inside me stepped out for a few minutes and started to take picures of what's going on in my head. Then he jumped in again, and the song was over."
"This is heavy ambient experimental stuff where static/noise induced from a simple volume control becomes percussion. There are little baby melodies that are recurring themes. The mood is not industrial, but it is futuristic."
