SEE YAS DOWN THE FRONT!
>Ashtray Navigations! "sub-aquatic synth bubble, busted-up
cassette-tape hiss and distorted electric guitar hover that sounds like a mythical god banished from the realm of light and trying desperately to clamber his/her way out of a dark bottomless void where time itself stands still." -James Blackshaw, Foxy Digitalis
>
>Ashtray Navigations! "Todd's mastery of everything even remotely in tune with psychedelia is here in its spangled, sprawlin' glory though he never shoots even so much as a backwards glance - Ashtray Navigations are pushing on into the 41st century and bucking "revivalism" so hard I got saddle sores" - Outer Space Gamelan

>Ashtray Navigations! "a trashcan antidote to LaMonte Young." - The Wire
