"I'm new to this band, but I've grown to really like just about everything I've heard from them so far with Dandelion Gum being by far my favorite album. Their songs sound like collections of late seventies/early eighties PBS educational show's theme songs on steroids and dust, set to quasi-hip hop beats with a dash of folk and rock splashed in the right places for good measure. I know all those elements combined seem like they would be ridiculous together but it actually works and sounds incredible. Tracks like "When the Sun Grows on Your Tongue", "Jump Into My Mouth and Breathe the Stardust", & "Forever Heavy" have been rolling around in my head for days now, the rest of the album has stuck really well, but those are the tracks that stood out for me. I've listened to nothing but BMSR and The Octopus Project for the past week or so, but Dandelion Gum has been the one getting the most play. I honestly can't think of anything signifigantly wrong with this record and would highly recommend it to people with open minded musical tastes."

Convincingly Psychedelic

"This album is just awesome. Totally mind blowing. Interesting, strange, melodic, filled with oddball instrumentation somehow worked out so as to be catchy and weird at the same time. I've been really digging this record for a few weeks now and highly recommend checking them out."

It's like ...

"...Boards of Canada's Campfire Headphase with vocoder vocals and a healthy dose of Freescha's Head Warlock Double Stare.



If you know exactly what I'm talking about and are looking for something similar yet simultaneously unique, then I guarantee you can do no wrong if you stop here and check these guys out. The album art appropriately captures the mood of the album.



When you're finished, don't stop there. Apparently each mysteriously named member of the band (Tobacco, The Seven Fields of Aphelion, Iffernaut, Power Pill Fist, and Father Hummingbird) has their own side project under their mysterious member name.



If you don't know what I'm talking about, pick up Dandelion Gum along with the other two above mentioned ablums now, sit back, and prepare yourself for a blissed out, psychedelic ride of electronica, 70s inspired folk, and dreamy weirdness.
