Year of the Snake

"It's a GREAT CD"
Mitchell Feldman, Georgia Public Broadcasting

"It's urban tribal music -- undeniably sensual, often improvised, and always synchronized in celebration. And on RSE's long-anticipated, it's delivered in precision bursts of audacious, sliding horns, and locomotive beats."
Tristram Lozaw

"A fabulous Mardi Gras-themed album of horn-heavy, funky, and energetic party music."
John Schaefer, WNYC RadioNew Sounds

"Captures the abandon of a street parade while expanding its stylistic scope ... it's got the essential ingredients spiced with fresh flavors."
Dan Ouellette, Brown Alumni Magazine

"Man, this snake can move!"
Matthew Robinson,MusicDish.com

"Urban tribal music that blends an audacious New Orleans brass spirit with the sensual fever of African and Latin rhythms."

"Simply put, this is one of the most successful combinations of booty-shaking & brain-stimulating music to be released this year, and it deserves your attention post-haste."
Brett McCallon, Splendid
