"...The quartet appear on stage amidst a storm of mind-bending psychedelia – frontman Richard Cartwright murmuring down a megaphone as analogue synthesisers, warped slide guitar and throbbing krautrock rhythms gracelessly totter into each other in the background. It’s a brilliant introduction that ultimately presages a truly brilliant set from one of the country’s most exceptional bands.
Richard Cartwright is forever the centrepiece of proceedings – blathering madly about disco planets and primary schools between songs and plucking daintily at an acoustic guitar during the band’s instrumental flights of fancy. The band’s closing number, meanwhile, is a legitimate contender for live performance of the year – audience members invited to play percussion and stomp along to a largely a capella performance by Cartwright in a conclusion as fittingly surreal as it is undeniably brilliant." - Matt O'Neill, TIME OFF

"If this is the precedent for Australian music in 2008, we are in for a prosperous and thrilling year. Brilliant." - A.H. Cayley, MESS AND NOISE

“Wonderfully unpretentious, whimsical pop music” – Linda Marigliano, TRIPLE J

“A unique and exciting prospect for the Sydney scene… simply outstanding” – Shaun Prescott, DRUM MEDIA

“Refreshingly unique… burns an impression that surpasses anything I’ve heard this year” – FASTERLOUDER.COM.AU

“Richard Cartwright’s eccentric demeanor, his quaint banter, his lyrics, and the joyous absurdity of the band’s pop songs are overwhelmingly effective” – Shaun Prescott, MESS AND NOISE

The New Sun
rating:  4/5
Great noisy retro rock track with more than a touch of psychedelia. Listen and smile.
