"Although they stamp their '90s forbear's logo on their album's blueprint, the quartet builds on that with an eclectic architecture. Jagged, reggae-inflected guitars coverage with contemporary jazz chord changes in ‘Get Away?' while ‘Dance Political' finds the band channeling a King Tubby-produced B-52s. Electric cellist Topu Lyo lends orchestral bombasts to ‘And It Matters' and ambient whimsy to ‘Lost and Lonely,' and Randy Bergida belts out sleek vocal melodies with breathy confidence."
.: cmj new music report
"Brooklyn has some tough neighborhoods, and Skidmore Fountain reflects that with music that feels, not just sounds tough. There is a kinder gentler side as well, but even those passages have a coarseness that grips you, and they are often sandwiched by grittier bridges. Witness the highly creative ‘Blur' and you will get the picture. The band stretches songwriting boundaries further on the twisted blues of ‘Lost and Lonely' and the rootsy punk of the title track."
.: music morsels
"Edgy indie rockers stretch the parameters with tremulous vocals, off-kilter tunes and an interesting band setup featuring five-string electric cello. In another age, these guys would be getting a major label push."
.: philadelphia daily news
"Skidmore Fountain plays engaging, multi-layered rock with some jazz stylings here and there. The five-string electric cello work by Topu Lyo gives the music a sedated, noir feel."
.: st. louis post-dispatch
"Skidmore Fountain is one of those bands that is too modern to be considered classic rock and too classic to be considered modern rock. Randy Bergida has a great rock 'n' roll voice—ranging from a Johnny Rotten snarl to a David Bowie falsetto."
