“Blue Horns continues to celebrate jangly, off kilter swamp rock. There is also a blissful insanity in their execution - unintelligible lyrics that sound at once psychedelically soothing and like an aggressive Southern evangelist, stark breaks in time, intentional disorientation - that gives that band more substance (and less predictability) that other more polished bands of the same ilk..
“..Full of Parks casually off-balance vocals, intersecting, diagonal guitar lines that rival the best of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, and a steady beat from drummer Brian Kramer and bassist Andrew Stern.” -Willamette Week
“The wordless hooks of "Shotgun Wedding" dig in deep, and seem to do so without much effort, but the momentum of a song like "Ships Sink" is carefully built. Brian Park''s vocals have a joyous, snotty energy, and the whole band sounds like the soundtrack to a glorious, sun-baked Portland summer.” -Portland Mercury
In the end, it''s rock and roll with sharp, jangled guitar lines fighting it out over a rumbling rhythm section. The vocals in blue horns howl over distant chants and pounding backbeats.
