    The album marks itself as one of the most special and singular of the year and beyond. With a cohesive tone of lysergic, hypnagogic soupiness, yet plenty of variety, the genre traversal is almost seamless. The only major struggle from ‘partygatorpurgatory’ is the impatience induced in waiting for more.

    Bores are in the minority and easily avoided, the exquisitely curated majority impress both in isolation and together as kaleidoscopic wonder. An unlikely joy. [Jul 2023, p.58]

    As a whole, this ambitious project can be an oblique listen but Acaster’s enthusiastic delight in experimental, underground music is on full display.

    Sitting at ten tracks long, the amusingly titled Party Gator Purgatory whisks through freeform rap (“lookaliveandplaydead”), chilling electronics, and almost cacophonous vocals to make, what could be argued, as the most bizarrely interesting record of the 21st century.
