5.0 out of 5 stars And no one will ever know, September 27, 2005

What is most impressive about Ringodom and Proctor is not the lavish instrumentation or high-quality production, which many would consider uncharacteristic of a genuinely "indie" album, but rather the simple genius of the songwriting. Initial listens may startle, but soon the recording's overall value becomes apparent; needless to say it is eclectic, but it is also just so very good. Obvious influences of this band might include the Beach Boys or the Talking Heads, but these kind of comparisons don't do justice to such an original album.

It should be noted that Head of Femur has borrowed not only the instruments of classical music, but also many of the painstaking polyphonic techniques and time changes that are rarely heard outside of the classical sphere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Head of Femur hits it on the head!, January 3, 2004

Head of Femur's debut album Ringodom or Proctor is excitingly experimental and yet is back to the basics good old fashioned rock and roll. The tunes are catchy and the lyrics wild and crazy. The blending of vocals and instruments is top-notch. This band sounds like they are having fun and that makes for pleasant listening. This is sophisticated rock at its best. The album receives my highest recommendation.

Head of Femur is simply wonderful. I am completely biased by my love for them, but they are one of the best bands I have heard in many a year. The have an original, full sound to every song, and entertaining but varied tracks. They can maintain a playful sound but quickly and easily slide into a poignant sort of interlude. I have seen Head of Femur live several times, and they've put on the best live shows I have ever seen, they just have so much energy and love of what they're doing, that it is amazing to watch. People ask me what they're like, and I can only say "Awesome!" have a listen and hopefully you'll agree...
