"Think about Wolfgang Press in its more Soulesque-Post punk induced days, all this topped with the rutilant voice from Mr Nick Cave while highly unstable and you’ll be into PNDC & Housework party"
/Heathen Harvest/
***
"..dig in and there’s plenty to appreciate here"!
/Bearded magazine/
***
"De cette démarche naît une collection passionnante de morceaux qui, s'ils demandent de prime abord un certain effort d'écoute et d'acclimatation, finissent par générer une forme d'addiction"
/Premonition magazine/

"Segundo disco de PNDC está impregnado de melodias cativantes, mas misteriosas, e ao mesmo tempo de um conjunto de afirmações estéticas de personalidade que lhe permitem explorar algumas novas paragens sem, com isso, perderem a facilidade amigável do primeiro contacto, num enquadramento sedutor que se intensifica a cada nova audição".
/O Dominio Dos Deuses/
***
“New dark-wave pop with illustrious melodies, great dark moods with infectious “popular” appeal that is hidden in a layer of experiments”.

"... so this brilliant record is more than welcome. It’s thoughtful, intelligent and bristling with melody, pop sensibility, diversity and inventiveness - a heady mix. If you like electronic music this represents an essential buy".
