Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Brooklyn based six-piece Artanker Convoy roll out an eclectic groove stew, equal parts funk and freakout. There are definite tinges of Miles Davis’s early 70s groups. “Ejector” could be straight off Big Fun with its mid-tempo laidback shimmer and shimmy. “Black Dauphin” soups itself up into a ghetto Prince strut, jutting its chin into the sun-baked fuel-thick city air. Likewise, “Geyser” is a slippery piece of funk with some warm, smoky guitar playing. The standout is “Open Up” a slow burn number with a percussion rustling intro, the guitar player rolling on the volume faders before the beat kicks in, his instrument now digging deep into the reverb on the bottom strings and surfing the echo on the high notes."
