Really love this review from The Ripple Effect:
“Sometimes it’s frankly alarming at just how good some bands are. Rounding out our journey through the outer cosmos, following the simply stunning albums of TMPTITW and Exeter, this report just wouldn’t be complete without a mention of this Chicago group and their debut, Tour EP. Blending a Jane’s Addiction vibe to their non-stop swirling kaleidoscope world of shoegazing and The Seeds-flavored garage-psychedelia, this band isn’t one to watch, they’re one to know now. So much music comes into the Ripple, and all of it gets heard. Sometimes it takes several listens to find an album’s spine, to get deep into it’s mind. Not here. Twenty seconds into the album opener, “The Sheet,” and I was hooked. Walls of feedback drenched guitars fill every conceivable nook and cranny, the drums hammering the song forward, until . . .wow! Until the vocals kick in amidst a sudden flurry of bass and super-revved guitar. That did it. In that moment I became a charter member of the Apteka Space Federation, willing to go on countless missions of sonic exploration with my pilots. Yes, it really is that good.” (MORE)
