"Taupe's lawless mix of not jazz, sludgy rock and homemade electronics hits like a shock of cold water to the face. Their third album, Waxing | Waning, out now on Prague's Minority Records, finally captures that power, as well as the band's oddball humour and free-flowing imagination."
"Single Lemonade Tycoon opens with stilted, comedic flurries of squawking sax and tip-toeing percussion before finding its groove as well as ragged electric guitar with the heft of an industrial power tool."
"The trio share a brinkmanship, a mutual understanding that risk of disaster is part of the fun. Fun, freeing and as good for your nervous system as a cold plunge, Taupe demand earplugs and a sense of adventure."
