    No Scare careens between sunbaked Americana, dreamy melodicism and more aggressive moves that are less reminiscent of Walker's exploratory folk-rock than the full throttle pummelling of Rosaly's sides with jazz titan Peter Brotzmann. [Sep 2016, p.75]

    Health&Beauty supply No Scare with enough oxygen to make the album reflect your dreams for this world, excelling at the meeting point between its recorded execution and personal interpretation.

    They explore the tricksy time signatures and artful insouciance of Deerhoof or Tortoise with aplomb. [Sep 2016, p.99]

    The result is that each side cancels the other out, rendering it somewhat ineffective.

    The all-over-the-place sounds don’t remotely go together, and not even in a good way.
