Here’s a review of the album from Vital Weekly, number 634.
You could say The And Group is a real group, a real pop group. There is Howard on computer, bass, guitar, David on guitar and vocals) an Annie who delivers some vocals too. Even when half the songs are instrumental, the tunes The And Group play are borrowed from the world of pop, but they stretch them out, play them during a longer course. So an intro may take some time in their world. The middle part a long time. But no doubt they set out to play a poptune, inspired by the world of folk music, post rock and electronics. Maybe they stretch out things a bit too far in 'Dwarfed' (almost fifteen minutes) or 'Rooms' (almost eighteen), but then an element of psychedelica or electronic krautrock slips in, which adds again a nice element from the history of popular music. Someone should give them a record deal.
