"Even 'avant-garde' fails to describe quasi-synth-pop collective Plastic Chord, an eight-member band boasting 10-plus instruments-- a slide whistle, a theremin, smart lyrics, and a spooky, sci-fi live show with a high-brow sense of humor that charms as often as it confuses."
-Katherine Tylevich (The Onion- A.V. Twin Cities)
"Their sound is smart and challenging. They balance noise and harmonies and horns for a dancing cavalcade of opulent and cocky, glorious music."
-Bridget (Some legitimate Madison newspaper)
(on the song 'Mirrors For Princes') "What have we here? a sort of musical Monty Python with funny sounds popping up all over the place. There is a morose male vocal in the centre of the metal machinery. This is like walking down a long corridor of mirrors that distort your perception of reality, alternative could be an understatement but it's still very accessible for a flexible ear"
- JAWZ
"With horns, an organ and guitars, as well as percussion from a xylophone, drumset and assorted kitchen utensils, they made a Beirut-like clatter based around the melodies of frontman Orion Treon. They recently released their Colonial Conundrum full-length and played a number of tracks that are not part of their usual stage show. Closing with “Thang Goin’ On†the drums and xylophone played complementing rhythms as Treon and the band built up the rattle and verve, proving that indeed they do have some thang goin’ on, that indeed these nights and these cities do."
-Carl Atiya Swanson (howwastheshow.com)
