MojoA slushfest it isn't....Melodically sussed, wryly observed post-60s pop nuggets are humorous, trenchant and reflective. [Nov 2008, p.104]

UncutGiven a few spins, their hilarious, loopy, layered approach sinks in deep. [Dec 2008, p.124]

Recorded, performed, and produced at the couple’s home in southwestern France, Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby is a multi-layered masterclass in utilizing very little and turning it into a catchy DIY cacophony of pulsating ‘60s organ beats, sampled sounds, ravaged guitar psych-outs, and lysergic bubblegum pop.

Whether Wreckless Amy represents a one-off collaboration or the start of an ongoing project for both musicians remains to be seen, but they sound pretty happy together.
