NEW INTERVIEW & SLIDESHOW @ DELL LOUNGE DOT COM



"The sentiment is visibly and audibly obvious. On their split 7 inch with Baby Guts and their forthcoming full length debut, We Are the Mages of Beauty, Unicorn Basement are motivated by the absurd splendors of being alive. Within their buzzsaw synth loops dwell life-affirming vibrations that rattle like so much window glass. In their lyrics, one hears the delirious, almost shamanistic incantations of a pagan priest as they name check Notorious B.I.G. and dead deer in subsequent breaths. Their beats drone and grind, ascending from corroded Atari circuits to dance club grooves. It is synthesis of the highest order, and it double-dog dares you to dance." - Citypages



"Just when I think I know everything about music, I get thrown for a loop. Part New Wave, part punk and part noise rock, Unicorn Basement is an experimental synth duet who are as quirky as Zappa, but their low-fi synthetic sound is more accessible than the king of proto-punk.

With influences as vast as Stereolab to Bowie, they are well versed in the art of musical experimentation. Yet, akin to the Velvet Underground, the music is not complex. But rather they rely on simplicity versus intricacy, which makes them a fun listen."



-TE Volcano Weekly (Tacoma, WA)



"Unicorn Basement have taken a giant handful of glitter and Elmer’s glue to their collection of keyboards and drum machines to create a scuffed up electro sound that excludes no one."

-The Pulse (Mpls, MN)
