Review from CityBeat, August 7, 2013

The National Weather Service couldn't imagine a more perfect tempest than the one The Harlequins have concocted on Sex Change. "Oh No" sports the reverb-drenched sound of The Stooges if they'd been steered by Dick Dale. It's followed by the loping title track, which applies a little Brian Eno Pop balm to a rash of noisy Garage blisters. The bashing, gritty gyroscopically challenged swagger of "Vanishing Smoke" leads into "Out of Hell" and "Schizo Radio," aptly titled guitar-blasted evocations of unhinged Psych Rock rhythms and roiling Garage Punk. "Echoes Repeating" is the sound of Syd Barrett fronting The Moody Blues and "Still I See" closes the set with an unsettling unplugged beauty. It's all evidence the Harlequins have worked long and hard to establish a dark, engaging direction.
