█░█ "Favorite of 2004.... Dandi is the new diva" - █░█
█░█ FAB MAGAZINE, Toronto. "Nina Hagen meets Iggy on █░█
█░█ crystal meth Peaches" - VOIR, Montreal. █░█
█░█ "Freakishly original.... exotically percussive... █░█
█░█ fabulously synthetic... look out Vancouver, █░█
█░█ there's a new freak in town. And, yes, that's a █░█
█░█ huge compliment" - GEORGIA STRAIGHT, Vancouver. █░█
█░█ "One of the most original sounding recent local █░█
█░█ releases... the storm is just beginning" - THE █░█
█░█ PROVINCE, Vancouver. "This B.C. duo should be █░█
█░█ brought to the attention of anyone who digs the █░█
█░█ spastic art damage and raw electronics of Les █░█
█░█ Georges Leningrad, Chicks on Speed or Nina █░█
█░█ Hagen... nail that downtown now sound (and of 25 █░█
█░█ years ago, but anyway...), perhaps because the █░█
█░█ urban malaise is that much more genuine, given █░█
█░█ Opaine's boonie-bound youth." MONTREAL MIRROR. █░█
█░█ "An electro-fied slice of tribal dance █░█
█░█ accentuated by Eastern-tinged synths and Wind's █░█
█░█ beautifully exotic vocals that bring both █░█
█░█ Siouxsie Sioux and the Slits' Ari Up to mind." █░█
█░█ EXCLAIM. █░█
