“Paste Pick: The Manchester quartet’s long-awaited debut album is a feral and loving atmosphere calling attention to world crises. The songs are overwhelming but never threadbare, packed with colossal brass, elastic diatribes, and tourniquet rhythms.”
“Maruja turn numbness into fire on Pain To Power”
“Pain to Power gets a bit samey as it enters the homestretch, but it's still a very exciting and ambitious debut that was well worth the wait.”
“a harsh reckoning with both mind and matter”
“Mesmerizing but somewhat disjointed, the Manchester group’s debut album boomerangs between hardcore, hip-hop, free jazz, and alt-rock balladry while rebuking oppressive power structures.”
