Jun 26, 2018These two people need to study music, sound and its effect, rhythm and chord structure. Their performance is like that of a really lousy Jr. High School garage band. It's not creative or innovative when sounds are thrown together via electronics. If it is cacophony, that's not music. The bass player knows exactly two rhythmic figures and chord changes, and puke might be tone deaf.

Jul 28, 2011Dyer and Sanchez are the sort of artists who will continue to challenge themselves at every turn. As long as they can keep that boundless creativity from going in a million different directions at once, their listeners will reap plenty of rewards.

Jul 28, 2011Despite a dark facade, Riposte has a soft pop center, even if the two instruments often get lost in culs-de-sac and Dyer's voice becomes overwhelming as its own instrument over 14 songs. Cut four or five tracks, and you've got something singular.

Jul 28, 2011At times, there can be an over-reliance on an organic-sounding push-pull rhythm here; on the surface, a few of Riposte's songs do have a tendency to blur together after a few listens. But when everything comes together--as on the aforementioned "Outt!," which builds and builds, effectively ending the album on an exhausted, triumphant note--it's a mesmerizing project.
