    A friskier beast than usual. [Jan 2018, p.29]

    Zombie Zombie are clearly aiming for the lysergic head as well as the ecstatic feet and the end result is an organic concoction that doesn’t disappoint.

    Short of a few dubby echoes, reggae is the one genre Etienne Jaumet, “Cosmic” Neman and Dr Schonberg don’t audibly mine here. No track is shorter than six minutes; some jazz sax and handclaps set Looose apart from its surroundings, which are never anything other than engrossing.
  4. Mojo

    The kind of space-occupying Krautrock klang that suddenly fills you with the urge to set up an underground magazine and get the brown rice ready for dinner. [Jan 2018, p.88]
  5. Q Magazine

    Looose's invocation of early '80s New York, complete with squeaky sax solo, is less compelling, but when they hit their groove with the aptly titled Heavy Meditation, it really does sound as if there are superhuman powers at work. [Jan 2018, p.114]
