Back in 2015 when Medical Records issued The Official Post Industrial Noise Anthology, Wes Flexner (also of Donewaiting.com) included it in his
Record Store Day reviews for the Columbus Free Press. Here's a bit of that:
You know how minimal wave can either be really good, or a chaotic layers that never quite lands.
Well, Post-Industrial Noise builds in the correct places at the right pace.
The vocals of Dana Riash fit perfectly. Whether it’s the tense “Sketch,” or the minor-key shimmering dual vocal “Survivalist” the comp starts off strong and never really fails.
I had to rewind the lyrics on “Compartment Life.” When Dana sings “Where there was farmland/now there is department stores” or “I’m on the patio balcony view/ the women next store is cruising you” one can imagine a feeling of being young and watching early 80’s Columbus develop.
