"Landfill Experimentalists" 
"Styrofoam Sanchez sounds like today's sonic detritus assembled into some approximation of a doomy tomorrow as if the future will just be the sum of today's trash. The experimental group performs in elaborate Styrofoam headpieces and suits, evoking future monopolists of nonrecyclable material flaunting their wealth. Its sets consist of a single lengthy piece, incorporating musique concrète, computers, and live electronic manipulation, that at times sounds like grating machinery or a chorus of amplified empty stomachs. It's harsh, arrhythmic, and conceptual, but not pedantically so. The group bio uses phrases like "sculptural personification," but the experience is enthralling even for people who don't think or talk like that." - Sam Lefebvre ,  SF WEEKLY 

 

"Future Shocked"

 "At a time when corporations track individuals' facial characteristics with increasing precision, the aesthetics of obscurity take on an even greater element of political resistance. The band uses Styrofoam to evoke an image of material antagonism. The group holds a mirror to corporatized society, whose locked cycle of hyper-production, consumption, and disposal impedes lasting cultural developments."  - Alex Cruse, EAST BAY EXPRESS
