"Public Eyesore has been releasing improvised and experimental music for over two decades and it never ceases to amaze me how interesting line ups Bryan who leads the label is coming up with. White Wuff is by any means no exception. When I read the liner notes I knew it is going to be a great musical adventure. Beautifully designed and released as a cd with 12 tracks that comprise different moods, travelling through genres. It's a pretty eclectic hybrid of various bits put into one mammoth of an album. Free jazz rock and no wave would be probably the best description of it but it wouldn't give the justice since every single track is a rabbit in your headlights or rather a massive deer.

The improvisations are on the verge of something dadaistic - frenetic and having this wild animal quality - one minute it's quiet and sombre, another minute is jumping at you with the claws and sharp teeth showing all the kaleidoscope of different hues and shades. It is a journey between atonality and wonderful and feisty tunes that are both cheerful and humoresque at the same time - especially when Jessica Lure comes in - she is an absolute star on this album - she is on a few instruments here. Rock energy, dadaistic and absurd trajectories of experiments, jazzy improvisations, ethnic drumming, vocal hysteria and usage of different objects that add up a special sound to the whole album. Just a wonderful, colourful gem of collaborative work - musicians that you might have heard in different line-ups." - Hubert Napioski
