REVIEW - Let it Rock - DME Music Site  (www.dmme.net)

"Derelict dirges driving desperation away. Keep your secrets stashed so well.

However futuristic they might be, most prog rock bands, the genre's name notwithstanding, cast their collective glances, stylistics-wise, to the past - too afraid to sound too modern to be filed under "Prog". This New Jersey quartet, the brainchild of singing guitarists Patrick and Dan McGowan, are different, they're living in the intense "here and now" which bares its teeth with the misty, if desperate, march of "Werevolves" where soft passages instil more fear than the preceding onslaught. In the multi-layered "Big Al" the band show their mastery of Frippery but do it with much bile and gusto, while the sublime "The Moon" puts forward the brothers' vocal harmonies and the folky undertow, and there's a grandiosity hidden in "Castle Builder". Still, it's the closing "Ice Clock" their utmost magical moment which indeed might point to a great future."
