Allmusic[2]

In her review for Allmusic, Joslyn Layne observed "With a perfect mixture of a sincere love of music, wit, and serious chops, they create a new klezmer that draws from jazz, rock, and improvised traditions. Melt Zonk Rewire is full of creativity, with high energy and grooves tastefully offset by subdued, whispery pieces... essential for anyone whose music collection holds many disparate musical styles".[2]

Personnel

gollark: That *would* be pretty cool.
gollark: Or are you doing something where you invisibly hide fingers in text with zero width character steganography or something?
gollark: Is "finger" a metaphor for "things which are not actually fingers"?
gollark: I'm not looking at any fingers. Except possibly my own, since they are in front of me when I use a keyboard. Unless you count the kermit's in the thumbnail.
gollark: > the idea that we need to do better than someone else at what they did to get more recognition or money than themI mean, you don't, you can do... different things, if people prefer them.
