"This time around they blossom in a wide, spatial wall of sound. Psychedelic rock, bluegrass, and avant-garde electronic are micro-mixed into hypnotic tapestries. An orchestra of French horn, clarinet, banjo, flute, and trombone make the mix rich. Drums crunch in line with bleeping blips as violins drip sweet nothings into open ears. Think the glacial crescendos of Sigur Ros, cosmic rock of the Flaming Lips, and the hyper eclecticism of the Beta Band. Guest-musicians include John Tejada, Jussi Lehtisalo of Finnish band Circle and Pharaoh Overload and Ted Casterline of NY's Krakotoa. Co-mixed by Scott Benzel who has worked with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Calexico and Fat Possum Records."

"Soulo levitate from a point on the horizon and land on our step. Not to say that Soulo is courageous. Soulo is inward reflective rock -- unsteady. A discrepancy worth noting is that Soulo illuminates what kind of musical terrain they go at with equipment and habits appropriated from ye olde rock, and its predecessors. With guitar/bass/percussion for a skeleton, and melody as prime fluid, Soulo make electric songs like a whale-oil torch illuminating the future. Soulo's music is too discreet to be rock, too jamming to be ambient and too eventual to be the blues. But you could use any title from the Jimi Hendrix song book to name any given Soulo track. Wind Cried Mary 3rd Stone from the Sun etc. That would make the Krauts happy. And that would make Soulo happy."
