The Wire Review

The cover to the "Providence" features one of the New Zealand artist Stefan Neville's fantastic cartoon drawings: mics in front of birdcages, set against a backdrop of rudely rendered amplifiers. Its droll humour suits the colloquial groan of his voice, reflecting on aging on "Awful And Awesome", while plunking guitars are ghosted by their crackly, trebly shadow. "We Pissed On Their Stuff" repeatedly falls apart before gathering energy for another sprint at the prize. Neville's great songwriter who's happy to pull his songs both ways, watching their melodies buckle and fizzle under layers of distortion. Jon Dale

Z Gun Review

This four-song EP was recorded during Stefan Neville's artist-in-residence at the AS200 arts space in Providence, Rhode Island. I picked this single up a day before moving from Providence to Columbus, hoping for a nostalgic homage to the city that we had both called home. I would've liked to hear a bit of the ole homestead make an appearance in the recording, but this EP does not stray far from the rambling folk and electronic glitch template that has characterized Neville's Pumice moniker since its inception. The B side, however, is Neville at his most upbeat, and the playful closer, “Wholehoof,” would've been an astonishing left-field pop song even amidst the star power Flying Nun's early 80s heyday. SW
