Apr 12, 2012Beaus$Eros is an interesting experiment. Busdriver is capable, obviously, in multiple genres, and has the restless, omnivorous kind of creativity that sees links between disparate styles.

Alternative PressFeb 15, 2012A crooning Busdriver is frequently more intelligible, revealing his sense of humor and beauty. [Mar 2012, p.94]

Mar 13, 2012Beaus$Eros yields some positive results while laying the foundation for some interesting future projects.

Feb 29, 2012While Beaus$Eros retains his playfulness and wordplay, and while the songs are without doubt catchy, Farquhar is out of his depth.
