“Finger-tapping beautiful, ambient textures from an 8-string bass over trip-hop sound textures and occasionally delving into moments of distroted chaos, albiet still within the realms of carefully crafted beauty. A Ninja Slob Drew Me produce chill-out music that is both awe inspiring for the musicians in the crowd and tastefully exquisite listening for the casual music fan in need of something with a little bit more thought than the average Top 40 record.” – Mike Spall, Mintsouth
“an eclectic duo who completely tore the stage up. Their melodic rythms combined with distinctive guitar riffs made for an absolutely epic performance.” – Ruth Walker, Listed
