"Hugely
promising debut release from this little Brooklyn-based label. Philly's
Pink Skull operate somewhere between electro, disco and house....not
unlike the DFA's best, most recent output....all three (mixes) would
make a formidable part of any dancefloor arsenal."
4 out of 5 - iDJ Magazine
"In
this era of Justice and slinky French Ed Banger-style electro, Pink
Skull's latest offering (and the first release from Brooklyn's Savant
Guard label) is a hot slice of '90s accessibility and
sensibility....Pink Skull evokes Orbital or a super-danceable Aphex
Twin with the single "Drugs Will Keep Us Together." It's a throwback
and a slick eye opener at the same time -- even the title of the track
reeks of '90s druggy love. Dirty dive bar dance floors, beware." - Prefix Magazine
"Drugs
Will Keep Us Together is one tech house banger fresh from the hardware
and required listening for every hardknock with an internet connection.
Pink Skull delivers not only the grinding frequencies and fierce
basslines, but melodic hands-in-the-air synth rifts on top. Is this
modern day psychedelica? Go pop some allergy medication, crank that
Pink Skull and cuddle with your man 'cause drugs (and dance music) will
keep y'all together." - Missing Toof
