"Like it's predecessors Style Drift was recorded at the band's Magnetic Park studio, where Fontanelle work their unique mix of instrumental improvisation and computer-aided arrangement. As a band, the quintet has forged a muscular, freaky groove; Style Drift has propulsion, edge and heft behind it. Fontanelle takes drums, keyboards and guitars, tightens up the interplay and weaves taut patterns that touch on the liquidity of fusion jazz and the crystalline angles of IDM electronics. Melody and rhythm joust, then mingle without being reduced to chin-scratching exercises in chops-mongering or Pro Tools gimmickery."

"The music on F is taken from various sessions over Fontanelle's 3 years, reflecting a variety of moods. By turns wiry and rubbery, the three keyboardist, two drummer, two guitarist line up creates complex, syncopated tunes that reveal the band members' experience in improvised music, electric done, IDM style electronics, and noise electronics."

"This all instrumental project features the talents of Andy Brown and Rex Ritter of the late, great Jessamine. Fontelle extends and develops the sound of the last Jessamine album, Don't Stay Too Long, taking the bubbling electric piano and synthesizers of that album into even more complex patterns. Guitars and keyboards repeat looping, Reichian melodic lines over drums that can click into Can-type patterns of shift into a funky lope. Melody and rhythm weave, bob and play off each other subtly."
