Reviews
"...an album rich in idiosyncratic imagination, oddly charming dischordance and strangely realised beauty." - Jim Carroll, The Irish Times.
"Veering from angular diddly-aye to disjointed stoner skronk, wildly varying collaborators are rooted by the shared rhythm section, lending an unexpected coherence to the proceedings." - Mongrel, July 2007.
"Bouncing from experimental pop to punkish noise-pop, Giraffe Running show that musicians can be as avant-garde as they like so long as they remember to bring some tunes to the party." - Eamon De Paor, Metro
