"'Rabbit' from mr. Gnome's debut full-length, Deliver This Creature, pulls a heckuva lot of noise out of a small hat, pretty much just Sam Meister's tribal drums and the reverberating vocals and sludgily atmospheric guitar fills of Nicole Barille." - Pitchfork
The psychedelically syncopated sounds of Cleveland's mr. Gnome draw on a visceral mix of contrasting textures. Masculine and feminine, soft whispers and shrill yelps, pounding drums and soothing lullabies combine to form a discursive indie-rock collage. The duo's jagged symphony of sound has them compared to a scattershot of artists ranging from Portishead, Cat Power, Massive Attack, and Joanna Newsom, to Death From Above 1979, Blonde Redhead, Sonic Youth, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Heave Yer Skeleton, the follow-up to mr. Gnome's debut full-length, Deliver This Creature, (now available on vinyl) promises to be no less a musical twist than the last offering. Returning with the same basic, minimalist ingredients; a soulful, feminine power and inventive, dynamic drumming, the two are suspended in a sea of drug-induced themes pouring from their simplistic set-up. The id, dreams, silver giants, hallucinations, flying horses, the devil, Armageddon, vampires, and ghosts are just a few of the hauntingly, hypnotic subjects floating between pleasure and pain in the soundscapes of Heave Yer Skeleton.

The most awesome band in Atlanta. If you haven't bought all of our CDs, all of our t-shirts, gone to all of our shows, joined our fan club on facebook, written our name on your trapper keeper, called us at 3am and hung up repeatedly, found out where we live and hang out in a tree all night looking through our bedroom window, introduced yourself to strangers as our "tour manager", written us letters and passed us notes in class, or even just heard of us - you're missing out.

"It's still a work in progress, but there's a link to a song called "If Only" from their recently released #2's CD. It's a cool and jagged little number that reminds me of a more seminal era of underground rock that was brewing in the early '90s, before Kurt Cobain shook hands with David Geffen, and before the "G" word got famous." - Chad Radford / Creative Loafing
