ON SANDCATCHERS (Chant)
"I was quite moved by the music. The melodies are interesting and the harmonic accompaniment is at times beautifully haunting. Sandcatchers is bringing a new sound pallette to the genre"
-Ara Dinkjian, oud virtuoso
"[Sandcatchers brings] a convincing blend of Near Eastern classical and Americana"
-John Schaefer, WNYC
ON PITOM (Tzadik)
“A rocking band performing catchy, hooky compositions that both pay tribute to and challenge the Jewish tradition...Pitom is a hard-edged new addition to the legacy of Radical Jewish Culture.”
-John Zorn
"Equal parts jazz school, seminary school and Nirvana's 'School'"
-The Village Voice
"A dazzling debut"
-The Wall Street Journal
ON SCHIZOPHONIA: CANTORIAL RECORDINGS REIMAGINED (Blue Thread)
"Doesn't pull any punches while slapping around the Jewish liturgical tradition"
-Relix magazine
"A post-modern approach to Jewish sacred music...this set should appeal equally to open minded jazzers, fans of Yiddishkeit and downtown habitues"
-Downbeat magazine
"So far past unimaginable that sets up an entirely new kind of individualism in music...wild, truly wild"
-The Buffalo News
"Unsurprisingly spectacular"
-PopMatters
"Some of the best Psychadelic rock I've heard in a long while"
-Bruce Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
