Review of Electric Aborigines in CMJ: "These Brooklyn buzz-bringers mostly make like lost hate children of Roky Erickson on their sophomore slab. Right out the gate (or the swinging bar doors), the first two songs feel like a fevered drive out of an urban jungle with syncopated drums, drawled snotty-to-weary vocals and fuzz-frantic codas that are off to who knows where."
