"Mirroring the dream-like quality of the visual layers, the music, too is a constantly morphing soundscape, recorded by Cerio and involving a lush lineup of great players, including members of Destroy All Monsters and Yo La Tengo all swishing around under the huskily-voiced narration of Throwing Muses‘ Kristin Hersh." -- Matt Lee, The Big Takeover
