“All-enveloping alt-rock, the decisive swing of David Narcizo’s drums and Bernard Georges’ bass makes for a unique underpinning to Kristin Hersh’s buzzsaw guitar and hazy vocals.” Rolling Stone

“Sun Racket has the sense of being poised between the material and the immaterial worlds, one foot in the earthiness of visceral rock music and the other in the magical realm from which springs that rarest of musical gifts: chemistry.” Bandcamp – Album Of The Day

“Une grand réussite” France Inter, Very Good Trip 

“Sublime et désespéré, fantomatique, écrasant, enragé. Dix titres sculptés dans le chagrin pur et authentique d’une bagarreuse au long cours. C’est ce qui impressionne tant chez Hersh, cette capacité à mettre en sons l’indignation, la souffrance, sans pathos et avec justesse.” New Noise
