"This 2-man unit combines mutated African rhythms and sounds, perhaps akin to the vibe of Konono No 1, with the gritty, experimental synth-stomp of Forcefield. Both members have long and impressive resumes: Jason Hodges is credited with samples and has played in the power-violence bass-n-drums band Suppression, freakout post-punk band The Amoeba Men, Bermuda Triangles... the list goes on. All of them highly recommended. Gary Stevens is credited with effects, and he is also the founding member of noise band Head Molt and for several years ran the infamous DIY house/venue The Rat-Ward. Again, I could go on..." - M.P. Lockwood/blog.wfmu.org

"Here's the latest oddity to emanate from the fevered brainpans of the psychedelic electronic duo known as Mutwawa. The group....combine samplers, effects pedals, and endless tape loops to create a unique--and uniquely frightening--sound collage. In this video, they've paired their usual hallucinatory audio with equally trippy imagery. The video cuts back and forth between Mutwawa live performance footage, images of pyramids and tribal costumery, and strange cut-ups of visual imagery that is sometimes completely impossible to understand. There are images of Mutwawa members menacingly pointing machetes at the camera, like guerrilla warriors filming a video to be mailed to a corrupt dictator, and strange stone statues with heads not that different from the masks that Mutwawa wear while performing live. Some of the imagery even evoked the middle section of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut--the glaring, immobile masks signaling an unmistakable evil intent. Mutwawa's music has always seemed to me like the perfect candidate for a horror movie soundtrack. Now, with this video, it sort of is. - Andrew Necci/RVA Magazine

"Those yearning for some 1970s rock/jazz/ambient/noise-inspired outsider weirdness should check out Richmond's dada sound manipulators, Mutwawa....the duo creates rhythmic cinematic soundscapes that draw their influence from the caustic trances pioneered by Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound and Whitehouse....They like to call their largely improvised, tribal sonic experiments reptilian alien death shamanism, and it is a more-than-fitting summation of their cerebral aggressions. Whatever you want to call it, Mutwawa's expansive electronic alchemy would be the perfect fit for the movies of Terry Gilliam and David Lynch or as background music for audiobook versions of Thomas Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49" or William Burroughs' "Point of Saints." - Chris Bopst/Richmond Times Dispatch
