Hecuba are two explorers from ten years either before or after us—Arthur Russell/Yoko Ono pop deconstructionism happily crashed into the pixelated beats of right-now radio. Iz sings like she got the instructions from 99 Records (ESG and other NYC loft mutants) and Jon produces (with help from Butchy Fuego) beats free of terrestial control if not influence. A work of art even if you have to wait ten years for the full implications to sink in.

"Have you heard much post-minimalism by Philip Glass? It’s all separation and dissection, one moment in time isolated and distributed across space. A premise gets broken into its simplest parts. (Check out David Ives’ play, Philip Glass Buys A Loaf Of Bread.) An occurrence becomes a sentence then dissolves into syllables, and inherently breaks further still, until we arrive at the absolute of precision: beats. Glass would love Hecuba’s debut album Paradise. He’d want to slice it into a million pieces and decorate a tree with it." -- Daiana Feuer (L.A. Record)
