"Following the excellent Greekadelia album, with its inventive reworking of traditional material, comes this unexpected and often furious treatment of classic low-life songs from the beginning of the last century ... Guitarist and producer Chris Morphitis found the songs among his dad's records, and they are reworked with a brooding, contemporary intensity. Singer Katina Kangaris has a cool, no-nonsense approach contrasting with fierce guitar and bouzouki work from Morphitis".

"This London-based band have taken the traditional Greek underground form, rembetika, and subtly overlaid contemporary blues and rock influences ... A solid, confident debut which manages to both feel respectful of its 1920s roots while also bringing to mind the likes of the Cure, Public Image Ltd and - on the dark but sprightly "Gypsy Girl" - the seductive wall of drone that is the Velvet's "Venus in Furs". Fusion at its sincerest".
