Rat Opera
Rat Opera
“an impressive collection of songs that depend on the strengths of the songwriters' respective styles. The music can be loud, naturally, but it's never gratuitous and is insistently melodic. Even the songs that Elba and Franklin mockingly describe as "ballads"—"Outside This Bar," "He's My Nothing"—evoke a remarkable degree of tension, though this is offset by the peculiar subject matter and the obvious fun the musicians are having with the material..”
- Jake Cline, City Link Magazine
“...tuneful, upbeat and clever. The band wields dynamics like a light saber, hitting sonic booms and doo wop vocals to tell Rat's story. It's not unlike The Who's Tommy performed by the Pixies.”
- Tom Bowker, Miami Herald
