"Developing out of Austin Texas' best ever Carpenters cover group, Lead Sister, Lead Sister II explores the endless musical possibilities that exist beneath the inconspicuous exteriors of common household objects. Using such unorthodox instrumentation as the electric mailbox, weed eater violin, bicycle horn reed powered trumpet, bed springs, bobby pins and hacksaw blades, Lead Sister II are now poised to win the hearts of acid damaged basement dwellers the world over with this slab of their hypnotically repetitious and droning brand of psychedelia. Possible reference point for the unimaginative: Sun City Girls after listening to way too much Terry Riley, sprinkled on top with just a hint of tribal boogie-woogie and free jazz splatter."

"The mysterious Lead Sister II sounds like a bunch of Tower Recordings intros that never switch direction in the middle of a song like those New Yorkers often used to do. That doesn’t mean that this isn’t entrancing. On the contrary we get a bunch of weird percussive elements glued together to a whole that’s repeated over and over again and has an incredibly calming, even healing effect on the mind. The outcome could from afar be considered a pretty fucked up racket with its eclectic instrumentation (including but not limited to the electric mailbox, weed eater violin, bicycle horn reed powered trumpet, bed springs, bobby pins and hacksaw blades) and unorthodox whims if it weren’t for the aura of beauty and far-reaching meditative ambitions that comes with every hypnotically repetitious note.

For whatever reason Interplanetary Craft is detached from reality in a way that it perfectly illustrates some twisted dream full of abstraction, improvisation and moonlight trance. It’s a kaleidoscopic pattern of aural illusions and stumbling drum circle folk that plots a quite remarkable track through the outer regions of damaged folkscapes, ghost symphonies and forested drones. Whoever Lead Sister II are they have found their own enigmatic niche of stoner folk, somewhere on the trajectory line between The Tower Recordings and Kemialliset Ystävät." - Mats Gustafsson / www.thebrokenface.blogspot.com
