Sounds Like: "Genuinely weird stuff as Snap Ant makes Thomas Dolby look like Doris Day. Hesitation beats, voices off, sublime guitar lines casually tossed off and into a mix that manages to combine acres of space and what appears to be a note or two from every record ever released are some of the things that made me love it very much."

"..a journey through a land full of surprises, every turn throwing open either a spectacular vista or a new summit to test the resolve of the hardened traveller."

Super Numeri member Snap Ant busts the third single from his
soon-come album, ‘This Is Jut.’ Imagine, if you will, The Specials where Terry Hall has been replaced by Justin Hawkins from The Darkness and you’d be halfway to a sound which is both heart-stoppingly epic as well as loaded with street smarts. I believe in a thing called Ant. Join me.

..wouldn't sound out of place in between Air and My Bloody Valentine..

By the sound of 'You Make Me Basic', (Snap Ant) clearly believes that any Prozac-addled aliens who land on earth will need something to frug to.
NME
Air and The Beach Boys double-team Tom Tom Club. Snap Ant comes out..
Flux
A nutty blend of influences with some very pleasing results. Lee Scratch
Perry's Enter The Dragon fused with Cornelius' Point fused with The Bees' Hello Sunshine fused with Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. All mashed together..

..it's like a tiny beat Yellow magic Orchestra; it's Beach Boys trip into to skiffle hop.
