REVIEWS AND PRESS:

"..bruising alt-country..." -SF Weekly

"[lumper/splitter] offers audio embryonic fluid in which to float/gestate...their out there hodge-podge of spacey sounds is underpinned by a sly/left-field sense of humor." -Good Times, Santa Cruz

"..I just don't know why you have to play so LOUD, is all..."
-Joe's Mom


"I like the bleeps and blips, theremins, tweaked guitars and general Plan 9 From Outer Space feel of [lumper'splitter's] music. And no, not for background sound while I'm getting a massage, either ... it's too important and too finely crafted for that. What this is, folks, is music as theory and not as toe-tapping hootenanny. Naturally, some people likes the beach novels and some people likes the Russian novels -- in Russian. L/S's music is decidedly the latter, but the fact that people bother to experiment with music at all is a root cause of indie and root reason why you might just want to put down the new Madonna record and see what our musical geeks are coming up with. You never know -- one man's sputter of static could be another man's "Rites of Spring." And that man could be you. -Todd Bemis, Indie-Music.com

"...uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." -some fucked-up guy at Burning Man
