"The music itself is spot-on to the full 60's experience: think Andy Warhol, The Velvet Underground and Nico, The Who, dudes in black turtleneck skivvies and nerd rimmed glasses drinking martini's, chicks in paisely dresses, wearing big white rocket boots, beehives, go-go dancing like spastic with tamborines in cages whilst oversized lava lamps and oil lamps swirl colours and patterns all over the walls, or simply conjure up every Vietnam movie soundtrack cliche you can think of and you'd be right here listening to this. It's a harrowing rollercoaster jam packed full of jangling fuzzed out guitars, scuzzed out organs banging out loops, buzzing broken amps, static, drums with no edges, and unintelligible yelps distorted low in the mix. If I was tripping balls on acid I'd be lapping this up in spades"

Spoz

"fucking EXCELLENT!"

Kramer (Galaxie 500 producer, founder of Shimmy-Disc)

"Mona Lisa Overdrive are puling off a most delicate of balancing acts. They're channeling the spirit of White Light/White Heat-era Velvets and still maintaining an individualistic stamp and stomp."

Matthew Buzzell (film director - Tell Me Do You Miss Me, member of Night People)

Now That You're Gone
rating:  3/5
This encompasses some of my fave acts, like Velvet Underground and The Doors. A hint of old-school Walkmen too? Love the lo-fi aesthetic.
