    It all taps deeply into different veins of pop, yet it's gloriously synergetic in the incredible world created by Prince Rama.

    The music works on its own--laser-sharp, energetic and gloriously fun. [Mar 2016, p.55]

    You'll be happy to hear that Xtreme Now, the Brooklyn duo Princa Rama’s latest record, is just as joyously naff as any judgey pre-judger could expect.

    As it is, listeners will probably hear Prince Rama with one eyebrow raised, which is a shame. Some art is best appreciated when one isn’t preoccupied with being smarter than the artist.

    X-Treme Now is an intriguing, often entertaining bit of art from a duo that seem locked into a long-running lark that sometimes, perhaps accidentally or even incidentally, delivers the genuine article, sometimes makes do with platitudes and sidelong, distancing glances, but more often than not is a summery slab of fun.

    Distractions aside, this is a fine record. [May 2016, p.114]

    Xtreme Now is eclectic to the point of feeling scattered, and its songs don't entirely live up to the outrageous concept.

    The Larsons have style and passion for days. They just need to nail down a poignant message to pair with all the flash.

Other bands put out best of comiplations like this every ten years. Hats off to this band! Full Review »
