PEEL by SURF HARP

"Each song is a ball of energy, raw and rambunctious yet densely layered and vibrant, like the first single, 'Leather,' or the rolling wheel of 'Rubber Dad.' But there’s not one second-rate song."
-Baltimore Magazine

"...an expansive, raw, layered album filled with screeching guitars, heady synth, driving percussion and many, many vocal tracks that creep up from the mix like a spooky trespasser."
-BmoreArt

"And so I come to you from the other side, the land of full comprehension, with advice: the words don't matter very much. They are vivid and melting and good, they are broken and knitted at the same time. But they matter less than the fact of them as geometric objects, the sound of them alone or in chorus; they matter less than the smashes, the sax, the crowded guitars. Talk is cheap, cacophony is precious."
-Said the Gramophone

"Highly recommended for the musically adventurous."
-Splatter Platter

"An exploration into the psychedelic alt-rock of the 90’s. Fuzzy, arty, and deeply layered."
-Mobtown Studios

"This is a well fashioned piece of work with excellent songwriting and equally captivating performance."
-Cassette Gods
