Reception
Pitchfork writer Joe Tangari described the album's songs as "tightly wound nailbombs of rapidly shifting meters, clanging rhythms, and mathtacular start/stop passages designed for maximum sensory damage. Sanford's vocals are secondary, it seems, to the grotesque clatter surrounding them - he whispers and growls squarely in the middle of the mix, perfectly content to let the pummeling grooves overwhelm his Dadaist lyrics." In Chicago-based independent music magazine Punk Planet's 62nd issue, reviewer Rex Reason stated while attempting to review Intimate Lightning: “The use of certain comparisons is warned against when reviewing records. At the top of the list are “if Band A and Band B had a baby…” and “if Band A and Band B were in a blender…” This record sounds like a swarm of insects making a baby with a band in a blender.”[2]
