Excerpt: “the group’s seemingly limitless creativity shows at every turn on this sparkling new album… These multi-instrumentalists take risks and ‘experimental’ doesn’t seem to accurately describe the diversity within Iretsu’s music. All in all, this album from Hidden Shoal Recordings is an absolute gem. Each song delivers something new, whether it’s in the instrumentation, vocals, or lyrics… somewhat random elements come together beautifully, and Iretsu’s willingness to take risks and do what they like is exactly what keeps the band so fascinating… Strange as it may be at times, the complexity and eclectic mix of tracks solidify Iretsu as a band that rivals even the likes of Broken Social Scene for musical daring. Which, if you find that not be your cup of tea, is still worth a listen; this album has something for everyone.”
