    OOIOO transforms what could be mush into wonderful, brilliant songs that fold and mutate the ideas they’re based on into moving and coherent narratives.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    70
    Linguistic detective work aside, engage with natural scenery through scattered sound, this album does.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    80
    By repurposing this music with a child’s lack of regard for history, they make it fresh.
  5. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Bracing brilliance channelling the spirit of Yoko Ono, Le Tigre, Aphex Twin and Alice Coltrane.
  6. Pitchfork

    Armonico casts the molten steel of meaningless syllables into machine-gun bursts, sonar echoes, radioactive dirges, and girl-group coos of the group's best work.
  7. PopMatters
    70
    Armonico Hewa proves that OOIOO are far from running out of ideas.

    70
    The album’s 13 songs are succinct but eventful: clever structures with a world of references, a short attention span and a vandalistic pleasure in stray noise.
  9. Under The Radar
    80
    Armonico Hewa is indescribable and absolutely incredible. [Fall 2009, p.72]

    The fearless girls of OOIOO led by Yoshimi P-We continue their path on Armonico Hewa, the successor to Taiga. Sadly, the bandâ
