"A rolling ballad that brings together soul, jazz, blues and melancholy troubadouring, in a rich blend rarely achieved so honestly and with such refrained grace. Reminiscent of the difficult, crossed-genre work of Jim O'Rourke or Current 93, Green Bushes is truly remarkable and one of the best records of the year. 9/10" - Foxy Digitalis
"Kill and Eat make a degraded kind of cocktail jazz, heard from far away (in space and in time). The vocals seem lost, a fuse seems blown, even the horn sounds like it's pulled a muscle . . . . If some of the New Weird Americans got less frothy, spilled less beans, got themselves de-frazzled and came in out of the woods and into a large ballroom and started playing then it might be like Kill and Eat's Green Bushes." - An Idiot's Guide to Dreaming
"At times Green Bushes sounds like a half drunk jazz outfit fucking about after closing time, at others like a distracted Burt Bacharach working on a new song. A bit of Pharoah Sanders, a bit of Burt, a missed bus, a cold cup of tea when what you wanted was a black Earl to go." - Idwal Fisher
We refuse to release album artwork, because we recognize that formats were made for music, not music for formats. We want our music to be judged on its own merit, not by whether it comes with visual art or fancy/handmade packaging.
