Ashrae Fax Static Crash! (remastered) LP/CD/Digital Download available on
Mexican Summer

"A relatively obscure band, and an album release that disappeared as soon as it was born, gets reissued and sounds completely fresh, out of time, and so relevant compared to what many young bands are trying to do. Fans of Cocteau Twins and Hyaena-period Siouxsie and the Banshees are going to salivate all over this record. Static Crash is New Wave and Dream Pop blended seamlessly along with some of the most powerful female vocals you've heard in the past decade."

- Surfing on Steam
"Static Crash," Ashrae Fax's 2003 record, is basically the dictionary definition of underground...This is an album of subtle distortions, of careful and considered twisting of pop structures and conventions..."Static Crash" is a beautiful combination of pop sensibility and daring exploration, the kind that may have been overlooked at the time, but now a decade on has proven itself timeless. So forget underground, let's shine all the light on this record we can.

 - Matthew Fiander, Pop Matters

" Static Crash is a goth/ethereal/synth pop record with a homemade quality that belies serious musicianship and establishment of themes in a Siouxsie/Cocteau Twins/Kate Bush opiate gauze sort of way, wholly a part of the ‘80s and ‘90s movements that spawned such music, and with a pedigree that goes back long enough to actually connect to those times. "

- Doug Mosurock ...

" Static Crash is a complete statement; it stands with its face towards the sea on some rocky cliff, swathed in black, wind-whipped, vivid and alluring. Next time you’re wrapped up in a cocoon on your bed, lost in a vortex of animated GIFs and drifting into the reliable vapors of chemistry, reach for this one before you pass out."
