„Something alchemical arises when these three personalities converge. It evades narrow description… Daunting technical complexity pairs with wry humor in a way that’s nearly impossible to pull off but dazzling to witness, imbuing each piece with both exploratory verve and bold character." — Michael Faigen, Jazziz
“Thumbscrew is a very exciting group that highlights intricate and emotionally-driven compositions focused on intense interactions between instruments. One of the most exciting bands currently playing” — Cisco Bradley, jazzrightnow.com
“The barrage of riffs are both epic and melodic, the low end beefy and the percussion massive. Expect nothing less than magic from these three avant purveyors." — The Village Voice
