The Fourth Estate features The Peculiar Pretzelmen
University of Wisconsin – Green Bay newspaper The Fourth Estate features The Peculiar Pretzelmen:
“The Peculiar Pretzelmen has elements of Modest Mouse, Les Claypool and Primus…There is darkness to it. I love the choice of instruments in their songs and that some are home made. I don’t think there is anything that I dislike about the Peculiar Pretzelmen.”

Kansas City Star weekly singles feature Jenny Dalton and Peculiar Pretzelmen
The Kansas City Star singles this week include songs by Jenny Dalton and The Peculiar Pretzelmen:
“Listening to the Peculiar Pretzelmen is almost as much of a treat as seeing them live. The sounds they produce are brazen and raw — rootsy music with a punk rock attitude, including homemade percussion and guitars, and emotive screaming vocals a la Tom Waits.”
// The Peculiar Pretzelmen media page //
“‘Awake’ is primarily driven by Minneapolis singer-songwriter Jenny Dalton’s mystical voice. With tribal drum beats and an atmospheric vocal sound, the song has a haunting element. Dalton’s ethereal sound channels Tori Amos and Florence Welch, and a touch of Ani DiFranco.”

The Missoulian features Hellblinki
The Missoulian features Hellblinki and their upcoming show:
“A night of demonic cabaret and pirate music that’d be perfect for Halloween is arriving too early this year. But if you’re feeling ghoulish, or just enjoy three-quarter time, there’s a Missoula performance this Friday from Hellblinki…Hellblinki is just as likely to combine Kurt Weill theatrics, waltz time signatures, punk guitar lines, references to the world’s end and whatever else they like – often a trumpet solo – into a single song. Each member of the group contributes a variety of instruments to this music, in which mood and odd ornamentation is key…“Bubbles,” off the group’s most recent release, “These Bubbles Come from Ants,” shows the group in its fastest paces: Benjamin speak-sings about end times, falling buildings and broken hearts over a sea-shanty rhythm and broken-bottle guitar lines. The chorus, meanwhile, has a wordless, operatic melody from Meiss.”
