BUY
"The 7" from this New Jersey band are filled, from start to finish, with songs so angular and otherworldly that it will forever alter the course of independent music. Their songs are sliced with jaw-dropping guitars, iniquitous riff-noise, dark scene-spawning harmonies, languishing atmospheric keyboards and ominous samplework. These boys are interested in beauty, power, emotion and feeling. Not idle wanking!"

BUY
"The need to create is always a powerful thing. In the case of Squarewell, it has driven five people to strive for music that not only catches the ear, but catches the emotions and the sense of self as well. This steadfast desire to keep their sound as alive and as instinctive as that aspect of human nature that longs for music is what has kept the band complete. Squarewell is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, where what is felt is just as important as what is heard."
