  1. Dusted Magazine

    The in-the-moment experience of Fernow’s music is all physical; the aftershock is almost all intellectual, the specifics of the apparent transformation provided entirely by the listener, who is left standing not so much accused as self-implicated.
  2. Pitchfork
    88
    Its stylized, specific, and unflinching sound roars with a singular menace, at once terrifying and captivating.

  5. The Wire
    80
    This is artfully bracing listening. [Sep 2008, p.55]

Prurient can be very rough, but almost all of his albums offer a rewarding experience, something that can't be said for all noise composers/musicians.… Full Review »
