Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.105) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "There are bits of jazz and dub, but mostly these guys want to rock. When they do it their way, they sound like nothing else."
Spin (p.82) - "[The album] exuberantly delivers....Epic centerpiece 'Kwa Nqingetje' reimagines OK COMPUTER if it had been unwittingly downloaded by teens in a Johannesburg township."
CMJ - "[E]pic, traversing a sonic territory that ranges from Afro-roots to the more melancholic art-rock and painting soundscapes as vast as the land from which the quartet hails."
Q (Magazine) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]heir debut LP is an angst-ridden melange of everything from psychedelic guitar freakouts to jazz brass and dubby atmospherics."
Paste (magazine) (p.53) - "On AFTER ROBOTS, the South African band strives for a sound as vast as the continent it hails from, and succeeds..."
Clash (Magazine) - "[I]nfected with positively chaotic vibes, 'Molalatadi' and superior 'Banna Ba Modimo' feature a Hypnotic Brass Ensemble on sparkling form."
