    A disorientatingly great mess of free-jazz, space-rock and voodoo swamp music. [10 Dec 2005, p.37]

    The Gris Gris are a challenging, intense proposition. [Jan 2006, p.113]

  3. Playlouder

    Gris Gris' practice of bleeding their songs together in dissonance creates a roller coaster that renders 'For The Season' over before you've really realised it's begun.
  4. NOW Magazine

    This could be any novice eight-track job recorded in a basement or garage, but at least For The Season comes off like the work of a real band for a change.

    Occassionally annoying, but mostly appealing neo-psych rock.
