Resulting in one of the most exciting musical adventures of 2008. 8/10" (NME)"He's traded in restraint for unchecked bombast. You can forget about breezy flute melodies and judicious glockenspiel sweeps; On You, Me & Everyone Pedro is going for something more assertive and hyper." (Pitchfork)"I forgot how enjoyable the results can be when musicians embrace their schizophrenic tendencies. Viva la menta illness. 9/10" (Vice Magazine)"London's James Rutledge has been emerging from obscurity for some time, but now his genius is simply unmistakable." (XLR8r)I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
