"Penultimate treat" "outstanding album" "Highest possible recommendation"

"All these zines and blogs are all busy digging up their friends releases to place them semi unbiased in their so called end of the year lists, a thing that this release single-handily debunks by making them invalid and redundant as what are these lists worth if the best album of 2019 had not been placed on it? If we at YiKIS made a end of the year list we would simply put only this Marlo Eggplant release on it and no others. Not that we didn’t like any other music, but common – fair is fair; this album is standing out with neck and shoulders far above the masses. Like a giraffe that is just a bit longer than the other giraffes!"

"This is a great splonky mixtape from Marlo Eggplant that dropped this week. Creepy reversed vocals, crumbling sounds, shreddy guitar, whirring noises and droning electronics, silly melodies, all these things abound."
- Bandcloud mailchi.mp/973e6df77ea3/festivecloud-bc-277

"“Loose Footing” is a haunting, dark and powerful delve into the deeper trenches of experimental sound and composition. The tape opens up with a twisted and mangled voice piece that turns into flowing water, a distant wind, a failed communication; we’re not really sure, except that it’s a new part of the journey. This work functions sort of as a “mixtape” style release in the sense that it contains lots of short compositions that all gel into an overall vibe, while maintaining their own individuality of experimentation, free from the flow of an “album” but structurally just as completed, and in some ways perhaps more profound and detailed than many noise “albums” where everything is presented as one long track. After the twisted, demonic voices subside, A more melodic, undulating sine-wave drone piece eclipses from the crumbling fog, like an intense pulsing light escaping from the distant mountain peak at sunrise, warming the inner ear with a comforting din. Eggplant has always worked with a diverse palette of sounds, however this cassette composites so many different styles of composition and techniques that almost no two minute section is the same as the last- we are always led to a new sonic discovery with Eggplant at the controls."
