"The CV on Aye Aye, the long-rumored self-titled debut by Philadelphia's premier desert blues marsupials, runs deep through the beerstrewn underbelly of Philly rock. The Gibbons Bros' unmistakable slow-motion, big-chord fuzz will be familiar to anyone who's taken a plunge into the Bardo Pond soundpool over the last few decades, though a cultivated ear will note more grits and butts and less pedalboard worship here. Ben Leapheart retains his very official title of greatest drummer in Philadelphia -- have you shmoes not heard Purling Hiss or Watery Love? -- with his innate understanding that the drums lead, not merely keep time. Yeah, yeah, cool, but what does it sound like? OK bub, how about terrestrial crunching rock drifting over a great expanse? Aye Aye is limited to 300 copies on vinyl and includes a complimentary digital download with purchase."
