new Pome Pome Tones reviews

JOMF "Smiles" cassette reviewed in Awkward Movements ...
"New session work here from Jackie O-Motherfucker, and it's motherfucking great. With their consistently inconsistent output of some thirty-odd releases since their inception in 1995, the group's experimental and freeform nature seems to extend past their music in to group membership, with some forty-odd ex-players that have Jackie O'Motherfucker some place on their music resume.
It's easy to expect great and new things from Jackie-O Motherfucker each time a release drops, and Smiles doesn't disappoint. Each side is a twenty-plus mintue track that gradually builds from sparse jazz to a proper psych-jam, that sounds much more than the sum of it's part, aided greatly by multiple multi-instrumentalists in the lineup."

French site Pinkushion lists new JOMF in their top 12 of 2015 ...
"Le groupe avec le nom le plus classe du monde revient enfin à la raison après des années d’égarement. Avec Smiles, le groupe post rock californien signe son retour vers des contrées familières jazz et expérimentales, se fait plaisir et nous fait plaisir par la même occasion. De quoi retrouver le sourire à coup sur."
