Mats Gustafson wrote about us in Broken Face, his long-running, now-blog zine. Here's what he had to say: "I’ve been meaning to write about Concord Ballet Orchestra Players Flying Together (Froyen Foods/Insect Fields) ever since I first heard it at Terrastock 7 in Louisville earlier this year. But sometimes you just try too hard and end up with nothing. This three-track CD-R is well worth your time though as it dips its toes in heavily psychedelicised folk waters with an impressive ease and also adds a very welcome krautrock flavor to the mix which makes the end results sound as much as Faust as No Neck Blues Band. I am not necessarily saying that this is as great yet but they’re definitely showing a lot of promise. Primitive oscillations, repetitive guitar figures and tribal grooves hover over your head like some airplane out of control. The rumor says that there might be a full-length album in the pipeline on a well-established Swedish underground label and I just hope that they have the ability to spread the gospel about what these guys do, because they truly deserve some more attention."



"A true collective" -The Boston Globe



"Figures sprout up and coerce the sounds around them to follow; repetitive phrases gently degrade and embellish themselves in smoky iterations; and, as if through some sort of charitable magic, the wank factor hovers at near-zero." - The Weekly Dig



"Nous avons tout transgressé, y compris les limites de la verité! Mais nous sommes véritablement au-delà.



For what we do is no longer transgression:

If the modern question (XVI centurty) was what can said to be beauty? and the post-modern question (XX century)was 'what can be said to be art?'. Then the post-post modern question is, what can be said to be beauty.'"

-Rhys Chatham
