The band will then hit the road a few weeks later, for a more extensive tour of North America, which includes appearances at the 2010 SXSW Festival.
“Imagine if the strangest folks behind the sunshine pop records of the ’60s swallowed Syd Barrett’s LSD stash and rocked out underwater with the Electric Light Orchestra while breathing helium. Then envision something even more fantastical.” – SPIN [Review - Jan/Feb]
“Though Oh No Ono does occasionally kick up a herky-jerky new wave ruckus, we suggest starting with the hushed, lovely “Swim,” which is 300 percent winter madrigal – the sound of stirred cider and cinnamon.” – ROLLINGSTONE.COM [Hype Monitor]
“As with every track on the Danish ensemble’s forthcoming album, Eggs, “Internet Warrior” is immense, ornate, and majestic.” – PITCHFORK [Track Review]
“Their album Eggs was recorded in settings ranging from cathedrals to bathtubs, and has as broad of a stylistic range, evoking comparisons to both MGMT and Billy Corgan. But their grandiosity anchors the record. Through the Middle Eastern firq violins in “Eleanor Speaks,” the haunted cathedral bells in the masterpiece “Swim,” and the childish choir in “The Tea Party,” crescendos balloon into a helium delirium. This is psychedelica at it’s cinematic best.” – FILTER-MAG.com [Review]
