A record that practically demands a set of headphones to fully appreciate it; concentrated listening is the only way to reconcile the long passages of ambience with the bracing pop songs that often interrupt.
-
Alternative PressAn impressive, albeit highly schizophrenic, release that takes multiple listens to even begin to comprehend. [June 2003, p.98]
-
FilterBroder has created his own brand of amalgamated Americana: moody, mixed up and damn beautiful. [#6, p.85]
-
Ether Teeth can be dull if you're paying too much attention to it.
-
Broder puts art before music -- as if he's recording an audio version of a painting.
-
MagnetUneasy listening, certainly, and not for the cursory-minded. [#59, p.94]
-
In keeping it complex, shy and out of the ordinary, Broder has accomplished a composition of delicate and post-modern-day-genius proportions.
-
Singular parts of this disc throw forth a few pretty piano chords or guitar strums but don’t expect to gain anything from this listening.
-
Surprisingly personal and emotionally resonant, Ether Teeth is potent inspiration stretched perhaps too thin, but undeniably captivating in its moments of brilliance.
-
The sound is small scale, but the bewildering range of styles shows he thinks big - listen with your brain plugged in.
-
Q MagazineExhausting, but borderline brilliant too. [May 2003, p.102]
-
One of the best and most refreshing albums released in a long time.
-
Too much of Ether Teeth sounds like in-between patter for ideas that rarely coalesce.
-

-
UncutHis twittering creations... use hip hop as their base but defy all attempts at categorisation and recall artists as diverse as Keith Jarrett, DoseOne and Smog. [Jun 2003, p.104]
-
UrbIncessantly innovative, it's charming as hell for about the duration of a sidelong glance. [Aug 2003, p.89]
