“Baggetta is a player of immense subtlety across all dimension, working with an impressive palette of tones … distilling Fripp’s loopscapes with hints of John Fahey.”- The Wire
“restlessly creative and wonderfully unpredictable.”- Tinnitist, Top Albums of 2023
“a prime slab of improv-forged art punk - harkens back to the DIY days of yore while blasting their way into the future.”- Nashville Scene
"mssv have created something that only they could: an album that is so experimental, and yet still manages to be an evenly-paced experience that doesn’t crumble under being ‘out there’.”- Distorted Sound
