Black Fiction

"The blog hype you're about to be hit with regarding Black Fiction is off the charts, so turn away now if you're a jaded, cynical anonymous commenter... this band is insanely good.You should be hooked in by the bassline in the first 5 seconds.

"Look for this song -- no, this band -- to blow the hell up in the coming weeks. Yeah I'm calling it. Just like Babe Ruth...sounds curiously like the Charlie Brown Christmas special when Lucy is shaking the change in her metal can. Then, when you think it couldn't get any better, here come the vocals, the sweet sweet vocals that do not sound like they're coming out of a white San Francisco man's mouth..." - Skatterbrain

"...how'd they concoct this cocktail of whacked-out folk, cracked-out hip-hop grooves and pop all hopped up? Huh? Huh? Genius I tell you!" - Strawberry Fire

"Black Fiction are quite above the petty games of genres and conventionality. Repetitive noise tracks, synths, and their signature highlighted and complicated percussion... a transforming beautiful melody that draws you in completely... instrumental versatility and the ability to transform otherwise simple melodies and concepts into complex and innovative pieces.... Recipe for a blogger favorite? I think so."

"Black Fiction swerves like a Microbus barreling from San Fran to Burning Man, picking up hitch-hikers of old school hip-hop, sunny 60s SoCal beach pop, vintage psychedelia and even some dub along the way.

There’s no easy comparison to be made of “sounds like ______� when no two songs sound alike on a record*. Which is a good thing, and that’s exactly what Black Fiction is good at. One minutes it’s a jangly, tamborine-shaking sing-a-long built around hand claps and a bassy dub groove and the next it’s swaying acoustic guitar picking, finger snapping and percussion that sounds like it’s in the next room. Not many bands can make a record that is this disjointed and this listenable." - Just Add Noise
