Description
A power trio made up of songwriter Aaron Diskin, producer John Morton, and drummer Simon Marcus, Lycaon Pictus' debut album "Deviation Amplifier" is a showcase of Aaron Diskin's diverse skills as a songwriter. The songs move from being melancholy to upbeat, from absurdly funny to deeply emotional, simultaneously maintaining a sense of intelligence and simplicity. The band's sound changes as much as the songs, mixing up a rock n' roll bass guitar and drums sound with electronic beat programming and rich analog synthesizer sounds. Despite the diversity of the sounds on the album, it remains a completely coherent collection, songs from a decaying civilization.
"Brooklyn art-punks Lycaon Pictus once would've fit just fine on Ralph Records, though how their deranged dirges creepy-crawl though post-nuclear slime owes as much to Pere Ubu as to Tuxedomoon."
Chuck Eddy, Village Voice
"This pro-wolf, anti-human synth-bass-drums trio keeps getting better - and scarier. Their new album features goth beatboxing, catatonic vocals, lyrics about cunnilingus, and a mantra-like theme song. Just listening to it could give you rabies."
Amy Phillips, Village Voice
"Lycaon Pictus offers an absolute alternative to the pedantic rockist tendencies clogging the ventricles of the city's overground music circuit."
Joshua Gabriel, Artrocker UK
