Strange Paradise
"impressive layers of tumult"
— New York Times
"an entrancing and glittering cluster of drum circle-like thuds and thwacks, meditative splatter, and weird candied poptones"
— The Brooklyn Rail
"simultaneously lighthearted and cerebral, casual and austere...asks the listener to engage with sounds just at the edge of their comfort zone."
— Thrdcoast
