from “The Siren’s Sound” review of “Missed the Boat” …
‘Missed the Boat’ is an excellent EP from beginning
to end, defying genre by jamming together funk, jazz,
and experimental influences.”
from “Indie Shuffle’s” review of “Seagulls” …
“the maturity and musicality of this track are
so tangible - much like the vivid dream
which it seems to drift through.”
“IndieRock Magizine.com” (translated from the French)
“The arrangements are subtle, the compositions are
rather unspeakable and in perpetual motion, it
swarms with details and does not resemble finally
known nothing while being inspired by many things:
Missed The Boat is undoubtedly a great libertarian
work, Erik Kramer, and is set to be a landmark.”
from “Obscure Sound” review of “Missed the Boat” …
“ … ‘it’s an extremely eclectic listen, as evidenced
by the glistening and infectious self-titled track…
“Missed the Boat” is a surefire winner from a
debut album that’s bound to impress.”
