"From the claps and tinny guitar riffs, to the go lucky despair in Logan's voice rapped inside those recursive audio loops, it's hard not to get happily caught-up in this jangle dance of a song."

Defender
The Last Memory of Man (Pouff and Chasiti Chambers Remix)
(Pouff and Chasiti Chambers Remix)
"Defender's collaboration steers away from the overly serious compositions, instead charting toward stimulating and spirited music. The use of creaking boards, jewel-like pops and clinks, give it a nautical feel."

Cloak/Dagger
Don't Need A
from "Lost Art" (Jade Tree)
"Jason Mazzola's unpolished energy crams against a raw, destructive but tight mix of guitar bass and drums. You've heard his kind of music before, but odds are you haven't heard it done so well, so lately."

Edison
Tonka Truck
from "All the Information at Hand" (Kid Without Radio)
"At an architectural level, the mechanics of music composition is rapidly changing, and Edison's use of the monome interface bridges live and composed content. At a creative level, this is a tight, beat-driven piece with a slightly dangerous story to tell."
altrock
Black Feelings
from "Black Feelings" (Alien8 Recordings)
"The band achieves a moody, anthemic drone that still keeps a strong bright beat. The vocals play like an instrument, weaved in unison against the drum and drone."
