  1. The Wire

    From the trancelike undercurrent moving through “Bird On A Wire” and “Ghosts Of People” to the solid punk attack of “2020 Vision” and “Tout Est Meilleur”, the album is testament to Bush Tetras’ resilience. [Sep 2023, p.64]
  2. Uncut

    If the production lacks the stark immediacy of their finest work, this is still music filled with hooks, abrasion and their signature swagger. Cynthia Sley is in particularly fine voice. [Sep 2023, p.24]

    This is as strong anything they've recorded in their forty-plus year history.

    If They Live in My Head lacks the woozy danceability of vintage Tetras, it doesn’t skimp on the political bite.

    Their take on classic guitar rock sometimes lapses into a mid-tempo morass but Bush Tetras have been a constant state of evolving for nearly four decades. Sley and Place are still compelling presences, and it’s good to have them back.

    The revivified Bush Tetras prove No Wave's not dead. [Sep 2023, p.86]
