Excerpt: "Iretsu’s  sound—one that’s vital, confusing and, in a rare change-up for these  predictable days, unexpected—is still totally modern. Its latest  full-length, <em>Fang,</em> proves that we all should have been paying  more attention all these years.<em>.. </em>Few bands  work with space as well as Iretsu: Songs like the short instrumental 'Swells' and the circular 'Sleep' are given ample room to breathe,  stretch and stumble along to a satisfying ending. <em>Fang</em> is not a  bombastic record, but rather one that slowly grows on you after repeated  listens... <em>Fang</em> isn’t meant for anyone  looking for instant gratification or 'the next big thing'... Of everything on <em>Fang,</em> 'Humbuzzer' is the easiest thing to latch on to, but it’s just one of  many treasures available if you’re willing to give the band time to  settle in. Iretsu obviously took awhile to make something it was proud  of. The resulting record demands—and deserves—the same patience out of  its listeners."
