  1. Tiny Mix Tapes
    90
    What separates Boss from any cynical cashing-in critiques is that the Markers went above and beyond to actually create an album that nearly contradicts their constructed identity.
  2. Uncut
    80
    The Connecticut pair's third album taps into the best qualities of alternative music, circa 1988. [Oct 2007, p.99]

  3. Under The Radar
    80
    Boss completely succeeds in channeling their blues-based noise rock to tape. [Fall 2007, p.82]

    Boss finds the duo still feral but also forlorn. [Oct 2007, p.106]

  1. THEAESTHETIST

    After hearing what Magik Markers had to offer before this Lee Renaldo produced beauty you might ask yourself what the hell happened??? But just as the painter can shift styles with the splatter of some paint, bands can and will do the same with exposure to the crowds while touring with big names such as Sonic Youth and playing at music festivals like the No Fun Fest in Brooklyn. MM have definitely found their groove and the people are getting into it like blood splattered dreams in the brain. Can't wait to hear what's next!… Expand
