Entertainment Reviews:

Spin - p.98

"BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP restlessly shifts from frenetic, bottom-heavy fuzz-rock to snoozy Weather Channel interludes to snarling, techno-tinged world music."

Alternative Press - p.131

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP's killer first track is an eight-minute, sour mash of bass-heavy synthesizer funk..."

Down Beat - p.48

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a big bold statement that trades the ensemble's signature guitar/vibes/snare sound for a swan dive into the synth end of the swimming pool."

Record Collector (magazine) - p.98

4 stars out of 5 -- "Tracks change direction fluidly and often incorporate unexpected sonic textures....A vivid, intelligent album by a singular band."
Signal To Noise (pp.66-67) - "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP is a mature effort, mindful of the group's legacy while simultaneously pushing at their musical boundaries..."
