matwardhobart Through clear and thoughtful production we are transported into a veiled and unsettling world. There is a graceful irreverence here, theres nothing jerky as tempos and timbres shift. Its subversive, never shouty as the safety of familiar nylon string guitar gives you something to hold onto whilst the darker sounds play and deceive. A real gem - original and captivating.

Gavin Hellyer This is a record very kindly sent to me from Dave at Bearsuit Records, and Dave, I reckon it's great. The main thing for me is how, from a relatively stable musical base, it travels off in all sorts of directions, including completely weird (a good thing) before returning from whence it came. Excellent. Favorite track: The Choirmaster.

Eamon The Destroyer - "We'll Be Piranhas" (BS061)

Performed with a wit and wisdom only matched by the beauty and musical genre hopping extravagance not seen since John Peel dropped his record collection down three flights of stairs... A madness of electronica, psychedelia, dance and pop; at times sounding like an inspired Momus sharing magic mushroom soup with Cornelius and Ivor Cutler. Yes, there is magic in these tracks that one can lie back and completely lose themselves in....
[Monolith Cocktail]

[ETD] has gone from strength to strength – to the extent that his output has erupted, Godzilla-like, expanding and flexing immense musical muscles. Incredibly intimate, with tension building from the introspective minimalism of the songs. We’ll be Piranhas finds ETD really going all-out to try stuff. And the result is brain-bending
[Aural Aggravation]

Of the purest of joys in listening to Eamon the Destroyer is the feeling that there is no blueprint. And each track spends part of the time fruitfully not finding one, but, as if looking. If that's a foible then so fucking what. This is incredible music with the emphasis on their incredible making... Eamon is in control when all around him, are maybe not.

Deformirani nadrealizam elektroakustičnog neo-popa iz Edinburgha
[Terapija]

Good as ever. Complex as ever. No song is a straight verse-chorus-verse – nothing like that is ever going to happen. It's always going to be full of interesting arrangements, arcs and changes. An adventurous musician. I highly recommend We'll Be Piranhas
[Club Integral Radio Show, Resonance FM]

Wilfully quirky stuff! King Creosote meets Swell Maps vibes...
[Velvet Sheep, Repeater Radio]

Still nothing like anything: a second bout of beautiful noise... “We’ll Be Piranhas” has much more assertiveness about it, yet Eamon’s romanticism upped the ante too, in terms of both sonic spectrum and melodic meander, although The Destroyer’s avant-garde leanings are still tangible here. And that’s exactly where the album’s thrills reside
[DMME.net]

Having entered the odd realm of Eamon The Destroyer, as with his first album A Small Blue Car this packs enough ideas for a whole album into each song
[Whisperinandhollerin]

What we get to hear on the eight new tracks is quite astonishing. It's a really great piece of art and music
[DisAgreement]

Eamon The Destroyer returns with a sophomore release that continues to destroy minds and reap rewards by tantalizing us with perplexing WTF’s like the marching band-on-acid electro glitchfest ‘The Choirmaster.’
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

Il nuovo album di Eamon The Destroyer è ancora una volta estroso e riflessivo. Sfida i generi musicali, stimolando la mente e catturando l'attenzione degli ascoltatori con la sua intimità, tensione e pura creatività. È un viaggio attraverso l'elettronica, la psichedelia e il folk-pop, dove ogni brano offre qualcosa di nuovo e inaspettato. Consigliato agli ascoltatori che apprezzano la musica che rompe gli schemi.
[Europa e cultura elettronica]

Applause must be given to a designer of dinnage not following any set generic dictates. The creator is doing his thing and avoiding the orthodox route. Rest assured - there is talent a plenty, a knowledge of what needs to be done and a fine end execution.
[Fungalpunk]

We'll Be Piranhas - an accordion-plugged, upside-down, punk invocation of Bowie and Eno's "Heroes"
[Bizarrechats]

[“Rope”] This is excellent!
[The Transmitter Down]

un songwriting completamente libero da schemi, sempre legato a quel folk-pop declinato in punta di piedi proprio dell'esordio, ma con una rinnovata attenzione per il lato più noisy del (post)rock e di certa shoegaze di confine. Fra ritmi spesso e volentieri sottili, sintetismi vintage, avanguardismi di varia natura e vibranti scariche elettriche, sulla scia di una vocalità dimessa che sa trovare la strada del buon refrain, l'album sa sorprendere tanto con le sue porzioni strumentali più pregiate...
[DarkRoom Magazine]
