But instead of biting on the candy-pop of the White Stripes or getting all spastically chaotic like Lightning Bolt, these cats just play a simple yet well done indie-pop-punk rock. No pretense. … They just put it out there. I mean, how the hell else are you gonna do it when all you gots is a guitar, a drum and a bunch of samples, y'know? And those effects and samples aren't the typical disjointed, 'put it in 'cause it's weird, maaaaaaan' noise filler. It adds and supports and thickens the L.A. duo puffing up their minimal instruments. … Real catchy, real tasty [and] gets better with each listen. Me likey. And big ups to Sub Pop for the inner book in the cd. Cool!" ("Listen: Stick It in Your Ear …", 6/11/08, p. 19).
