"This is indie-pop in it's most vibrant and pretty colours, but Desdemona manage to balance the sweetness so that you won't get musical toothache. The overriding feel is of bright-eyed kids, hungry for all the world has to offer and the reult is a riot of unhinged raw poppy thrills." - Blah Blah Jan 2006

"I first heard Desdemona’s "Crash Test Donna" on the online radio show Pop Scene With Jalal (www.popscenewithjalal.com) and felt I needed to contact the band, nabbing this EP. While I still hold up "Crash Test..." as the EP’s standout, the remaining six tracks are just as enjoyable. "Lavender Lullabye" is a nice antidote to "Crash Test"s pop fury. Sarah Lucas is a confident vocalist who is just at home shrieking, as she is cooing. A little bit classic Blondie mixed with cool, femalefronted bands like Kaito...and you’ve got a UK group to watch." - Big Takeover Magazine, New York

Like Kate Bush fronting a more together MC5 - Charley Dunlap, moles club online

As for Desdemona, how to describe them? Stereolab meet Strawberry Switchblade with liberal doses of psychedelic quirkiness best described by the name of their own label Screamy Dreamy. - Paul Davies(m-reading.co.uk)

"Judging from the pictures on the inside of the cd, either Sarah or Gayle from the band has a perfectly astonishing amount of hair" - John Peel RIP

Oddly and depressingly enough, we get so few cds like this - pure pop music with no strings (or other gadgetry) attached...as soon as the CD is finished we take it out of the stereo and spend the rest of the day hugging it like a favourite teddy bear. - Nightshift (Oxford)
