Another Gem from the lads, March 17, 2006
This review is from: All Out Fall Out (Audio CD)
Once again, the PEST boys blend just about every style of music together and produce something greater than its parts. The clever loops and intricate guitar are never overstated (a common problem I have found with other bands)and, in this case, I found myself laughing out loud at the cheeky use of vocals and wind instruments. All out fall about..
Love it, play it

Pest - All Out Fall Out, March 4, 2011
This review is from: All Out Fall Out (Audio CD)
Pest's second album, ALL OUT FALL OUT, continues the weirdo funk hip-hop of the first. "Delucid" has some warm reggae-inspired horns that contrast the buzzing electronic bass cello line and the guitar plucking, while "Pat Pong" starts with a smooth vibraphone and only gets funkier as it goes along. They continually to mix in moments of beauty (the guitar line on "Click Bitches") with odd moments (the sampled expletive and the unexpected break on the same). But if there's a major weakness, it's the weak raps that keep turning up like a bad penny ("Wu Ju," "Ogres," "Cous Cous"). Thankfully, these missteps are redeemed by the angular harmonies of "Downward Steps" and the intricate bass and strange processed vocal samples on "Saddlebags." The twisted jazz of "Donde Pesta" carries the Ninja Tune stamp of originality.
