"From Denton, TX comes Mission Giant. This is spacey stuff, 100% head music -- it reminds us of some of our favorites: Cluster, Suicide, Stereolab, Perrey & Kingsley...but with a more Southwestern edge: strange backwoods voices occasionally pop out of the mix of Moogs, banjo's piano, organ and videogames as the band keeps chuggin' along with their minimalist rhythms and polite guitar."

"After Crevice I was released, the weirdos in town really started coming out of the woodwork. First, the group began receiving bizarre tape loops in the mail from a local guitar-cello-effects nut. Next came the violinist, then the two sax players and a guy who made music by blowing into toilet paper rolls and smashing up Barry Manilow records 'to force the records to make better music than they were originally created to make.' Naturally, they were asked to join the group. The weirdness is definitely still there. The tripped-out atmospheres, synth-washes, and disembodied voices, now joined by violins, cellos, saxes, flute come on like some fucked-up orchestra from Mars. But the album can be downright pretty at times with its strange, soft passages and hypnotic drones."
