Press Quotes
The 1982 single features a playful, pinball rhythm that hints at the new wave movement that would follow even as Anya Varda's tense, strained vocal keeps it squarely within minimal synth's darkly paranoid tradition.
—Jonathan Garrett, Pitchfork
The clinical, robotic beats proved just the thing for Toronto at the time.
—Michael Panontin, Canuckistan Music
This is the sound that a ton of contemporary bands are trying to emulate. And if they did it this successfully, I'd fully support them.
—Ani Tzenkova, Trendland
