"Top 10 mp3s of the Week" (regarding the 1st single "House of Stares") ~ Consequence of Sound

"[...] Psychedelic pop freakout. The piece plays choppily, with glitch-styled production stitching together drum beats, acoustic guitar and cut-up vocal patterns into a neon tapestry of sound. " (regarding the 2nd single "&hearts") ~ Exclaim

"Compared to the manic sensibilities of Zorch, Shmu brings a more chilled-out vibe with elements of pop and shoegaze, opting for some serious grooves rather than spacey synths." ~ ALARM Press

"4/5 stars" ~ SA Current

"Each track encompasses its own bizarre universe of sound, each the sonic equivalent of a 15-minute Adult Swim show [...] psychedelic mobiles swirling up ahead." ~ Redefine Magazine

“A quiet and unexpected triumph” ~ ThisIsNotAScene
