about

[I]t is great, a reminder of what's still fascinating about the electric guitar. If you need a clear, clean refreshing blast of the basics, distortion is definitely truth.

-Nick Reynolds, BBC radio

At the same time as Poss' avant-garde experiments transform the guitar and open up new possibilities for the instrument, he doesn't completely forsake some of its more traditional sounds.

-Wilson Neate, Dusted

This is highly innovative and highly melodic music for the experimental set. This is art, this is noise, this is feedback, this is blowing apart conventions, this is damn good songwriting. The guitar love affair continues and things just seem to be heating up.
-Jonah Flicker, Lost At Sea

Whether riding resonating crests or layering light sounds of strums and hums, Robert Poss' emotive directions are equally moving and exciting.
-SK, Free Williamsburg

What all the tracks have in common is Poss’ love of texture, tone, timbre, whatever you wish to call it, in all its variety….These CDs both ranked among my favorite albums of 2002.

-Steve Holtje, The Big Takeover

…Guitar genius, drone meister and ex-Band Of Susans member…Robert Poss is the master of treated and manipulated guitars along with distorted drum machines and synths.

-Larry Crane, Tape Op

Anyone under the impression that Sonic Youth were/are/could very well be the kings of six string overkill never crossed paths with Band Of Susans. What a glorious din of guitars, loops, wires and pedals that was….Chief Susan, real name Robert Poss, plugs back in to rekindle that old amp magic.
-Thrust


…[A]n ADD-friendly hodgepodge of compelling fabrics, raw feedback, and driving noise….

​-Michael Chamy, AustinChronicle.com
