Sean Jewell from The Stranger reviews “Clock Is Tickling”

“On Clock Is Ticking, austere vocals and spatial synths dance with anti-clockwise drums and hi-toned bass riffs…The West jam like post-punk is a new idea…this EP is space odyssey clean from the recording to the Swiss-modern cover art.” -Sean Jewell

No, I mean crazy good. I saw them at the first of the year at the Croc, but last nights show blew that one away. I might have to say this was my favorite local show of the year.” -Aaron Brown, AB Seattle

Next up, we’re playing the High Dive for NYE (Tues. Dec. 31st) with Ever-so-Android and Dead Ship Sailing.
