Jurkovic further noted that "Lotz [...] has such a ballerina's grace and instinct to his playing that synapses snap, pop, and burble" in a manner reminiscent of a psychedelic experience. Jurkovic also praised drummer Jamie Peet and bassist Zack Lobe for their contributions to the overall psychedelic experience.[3]
