“…one of the most engaging and intelligent instrumental bands around…highly articulated, melodic pieces…this 35-minute collection qualifies as an EP, but they make every one of those minutes count. On ‘Curve’ a commanding guitar broadsides pounding surf drums while trading solos with a chortling, distorted bass…the Mermen turn surf inside out and show it glisten from all sides.”
“…this seven-track odyssey kicks off with one of the most ferocious instrumentals in recent memory. Five instrumental songs offer rock as outside as anything Sonic Youth has done…But it’s the four-part finale, ‘Brain Wash’, a Thomas solo excursion to the Twilight Zone, on which The Mermen leave the water to surf deep space…” “…for it’s new EP, the trio has gone beyond pushing the envelope. The Mermen, in the blink of an eye, have the power to overpower you with jagged little body blows of tremolo and feedback, while moments later they set your soul reeling in the atmospheric space capsule…” “…sonic booming immediacy…minimalistic cascading melodicism…guitar vituosity…stunning versatility. Where you can watch galaxies dance and lights twirl…” The tube doesn’t swallow you, but you’ve found a gateway to some other place. “…I see melting landscapes, and rivers of deep red flexible triangles course past my eyes…let’s say you’re experiencing the great green room and then you vanish. “…the four-part ‘Brain Wash’ (is) feedback-soaked chorus, ambient meltdown, and closing harmonic deluge, evocative of a drowning man…” “…With music that ranges from the ferocious to the languid, Songs of the Cows is a consistently creative, thoroughly entertaining record.” “…The Mermen are experts at taking Jim’s evocative compositions and turning them into technicolor tales…(his) elegant guitar work and the depth provided by the rhythm section make it easy to dream along to the music…The hopeful promise of ‘Varykino Snow’ dissolves into the sadness of ‘A Heart with Paper Walls,’ a doleful piece which echoes with resignation and sorrow, and ends with the hollow sound of the wind…’Meandher’…proves that they can air it out as well–with an intense climax ringing with sweet feedback…” So much ground gets covered here–from acid rock to free-form jazz…”
