Press Quotes

 

The guitar-play is sword-like and masterful… When the Cloak Ox punches in during their climactic moments, it’s with full balls. Broder writes lyrics the way an older and wizened man, who’s seen his share of the country’s roads and its rock bars dozens of times over.

– Daytrotter

“Andrew Broder and his wrecking crew are forging a new path …  “Pigeon Lung” is a tensely building track that offers huge moments of epic release buttressed by curt drumming, arpeggiating guitars, ghostly cooing, and angular poetry.” – SPIN

The Cloak Ox’s songs course with a sense of newfound enthusiasm that bursts to life onstage. Cloak Ox songs are more melodic, playful interpretations of the technically complex, cerebral indie rock its members are known for creating, and, above all else, it’s obvious they are having fun doing it.
-City Pages

The Cloak Ox has a sound that is both their own and easily digested.  They have cut their teeth enough to know that weird is cool, but having that groove, that sound, that feeling in the song is sometimes worth more than all of the chord changes and looping pedals in the world.
