  • Sounds Like

    "It's the kind of music that's itchy on the inside and projecting its discomfort noise with bed head and dilated pupils." -- Audra Schroeder, Austin Chronicle .. .. "weirdo-caveman thud-punk a la the Electric Eels" -- Joe Gross, Austin American-Statesman .. "Coma in Algiers makes Seattle '90s grunge sound like Strawberry Shortcake." -- austin.com .. .."Given the trashy, just-on-the-cusp-of-disintegrating volatility of their recorded output, they deserve credit just for staying together for as long as they have..." -- Matthew DeWitt, Austinist .. .."I mean this as a compliment. You guys are just as bad as Flipper." -- random man at Emo's .. .. "The feral volatility of Coma in Algiers’ latest, Your Heart, Your Body, thrusts like the second coming of the Jesus Lizard or Flipper." -- Austin Powell, Austin Chronicle .. .. "...it’s the Austin group’s flat-palmed approach to genre-mashing—and keyboard playing—that makes it stand out in town... it’s CIA’s willingness to be ugly that gets in your face and screams to be noticed." -- The Onion/Austin AV Club ..
