“Perhaps best described as avant-fusion, Jon Lundbom’s quintet drives toward a unique sound that hybridizes the outside playing characterized in avant-garde while remaining rooted in rhythm-based fusion riffs… While just a debut album, the group has a sound that belies this. Blending genres, we are treated to an ever-shifting sound that has more than enough to offer any listener of avant, fusion, or even adventuresome bop. Only in his mid-twenties, one can only hope Lundbom has plenty more to offer the listening audience.”

“Guitarist Jon Lundbom achieves his goal of breaking a few molds in a promising debut album… Lundbom mixes classic and West Coast licks with abrupt rock chord-crunching, sounding more natural than contrived in doing so. He’s also impressive providing a rambling-yet-complimentary chord canvas… It’s pretty tasty stuff…a promising album with lots of room for future development. …those who come across it ought to give it an audition.”
