“Extraordinary album….veers happily from traditional Indian raga riffs to Celticreels to suave Latin jazz before arriving at — wait for it — “People Are Strange,” where the Doors’ vintage hit is reconfigured into a free-flowing New Orleans jazz jam.” “3.4 out of 4 Stars” -TORONTO STAR

“Flat out fun throughout all 13 songs here. They would be an absolute trip live, and this record will have you hoping for that day.” - FOLKWORLD

“The late, great boundary-pushing violinist Oliver Schroer is no longer with us. Ashley MacIsaac went right off his rocker long ago. And so here comes s--t-hot fiddle fiend Freeman-Fox... to extract smoke from his bow while tearing through genres from Yiddish, Irish, Acadian, Roma and ragtime to anything else he finds in his travels, including various shades of jazz and prog rock — and even some Mongolian throat singing for good measure... together, they can slay any band, anywhere, anytime.”
-THE RECORD (KITCHENER-WATERLOO)

“..like a fiddling Frank Zappa or Sun Ra and his Arkestra, changing pace and styles on a dime but always with consummate musicality. ...Great chops, while running a gamut of musical moods... As a live band, they seem like they’d be well-nigh unstoppable.”
-PENGUIN EGGS (summer 2013 issue 58)

“The inspirations come from all over the map—jazz, pop, rock, classical and myriad forms of folk and world music. In lesser hands, mixing all these colours would result in a suspicious shade of brown but Freeman-Fox uses them deftly, never allowing any to dominate for long. Playful and inventive, he’s constantly on the move, creating kaleidoscopic music with bold, bright tones.”
