'sauvages élans surf-punk-garage, consommés lors de rêveries psychédéliques'
- Patrick Ouellet,VOIR Montréal
"cryptic tales riddled with watery dream images, characters who transform into gases or swim through walls... But there’s nothing pretentious about Reverse, the pair’s 26-minute, 11-track fourth album; the mythological metaphors serve often bitter rants. Jacobson sings in a girlish, untutored soprano, and songs hurtle along with garage/psych guitars vying with pounding, uncomplicated drums. The Dagons are contrarians—“How To Get Through The Glass” is a minimalist drone with maxed-out guitars, “Pinafore” is a kiss-off that ends with a hope for a reunion—who make a virtue of teetering between extremes." — Steve Klinge, MAGNET

Psychedelic rock reminiscient of Deerhoof
author: Robert VitulanoReverse brings the listener on an exciting cosmic rock-inducing journey that reminds this audience member of Deerhoof. Each track leads nicely into the next and keeping you listening in for more. The more memorable songs on this album includes the rockier It Flies Out, the eastern inspired In Gingham (love those sitars), the Fifth One and Reverse (mixture of Karen-O on Show Your Bones and the singer from the Gossip). On a negative note, I would say that Panic in the Snake House dampers the mood that is created. It is fairly energetic after the album begins to go on a down-tempo. I also feel that the transition between it and Dinafore isn't the strongest.
