Tweaker review

In the new issue of Outburn you can read a review of the new Tweaker album, The Attraction to All Things Uncertain. Here is a brief excerpt of the mostly favorable review:

The album is split two-thirds instrumental experimentation and one-third straight up alterno-rock. Overall, Tweaker is most potent on the instrumental cuts where Vrenna cracks his knuckles, deftly twiddles knobs,and coaxes out expressive, digital soundscapes that engage the listener and escape the pitfall of much instrumental music in which the songs become the equivalent of audio wallpaper. You won't find minute after minute of the same techno drum loop or vast unlistenable wastelands of experimental detritus.

Thanks Jinni.
