“The Peculiar Pretzelmen, are from LA, but their sound's decidedly from another world. Think early-twentieth-century blues, making hot monkey love with Screaming Jay Hawkins in a packed speakeasy while Tom Waits mixes absinthe cocktails in a rusty metal bathtub; only weirder. The touring version of the Pretzelmen was pared down to a duo, but they made more than enough racket on their own, thanks. Lead Pretzel M. Incroyable howled out the combo's catchy and scratchy blues from Hell in a sandpapered yowl that sounded like Tom Waits by way of Roky Erickson. He attacked instruments ranging from a banjo to a cigar-box guitar, while percussionist Deacon drove the whole contraption with a kit that made generous use of a metal bucket and washboard. It was a cacophony of the most sublime order, played with total abandon and more scratcy-catchy hooks than you could shake a fishing pole at. All that, and they rock neckties that kill.” -Tony Kaye, Seattle Examiner

“The Los Angeles voodoo blues stomping duo return with another batch of noisey sounds where folk, prog-rock and cabaret remnants are run through their unusual filter of punk spirit that rarely sits still and is certainly never predictable. Now a band for over a decade, The Peculiar Pretzelmen play unclassifiable music that often comes from homemade instruments, and most important their vision of art falls well outside any traditional, mundane or generic parameters. If you’re tired of the same old same old, Transmissions Of The Electromagnetic Understream will absolutely enthrall and possibly even inspire.” - Take Effect
