Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Andreas Soderstrom’s debut album as Ass is built out of lush Fahey-style acoustic guitar picking and his warm, velvety trumpet, and comprises both songs and instrumentals. “Two Different Ways” seeps into your heart on a fanfare of brass, glowing with afternoon light over forest-rimmed Swedish lakes. The same bittersweet sorrow infuses vocal tracks like “Don’t Tell A Word”. The two closing instrumentals “Chinese Dream” and “Feud In, Feud Out” are the highlights, where the insistent fingertip strumming and string scratching resemble Klaus Dinger’s trademark motorik drum tick. On “Chinese Dream”, it is further filled out with glockenspiel and organ chimes, while “Feud In, Feud Out” has a monophonic synth melody daubed with a child’s crayon."
