"Echolocation is the astonishing debut album from Mendoza Hoff Revels, an electric and formidable new unit led by Ava Mendoza (guitar, compositions) and Devin Hoff (bass, compositions) and featuring James Brandon Lewis (tenor sax) and Ches Smith (drums). A super-group of our time, all profound creative artists in their own right, rocking mightily together, in their prime. 21st Century progressive rock played by punk rockers with serious improv skills and jazz feel. And vitally -- non-stop wicked catchy tunes, riffs and grooves. Strong sonic references are The Stooges' Funhouse, rendered by an entire band readily adept at rapidly swinging rhythmic and harmonic shifts. Vital influences on Ava and Devin toward this work's creation were mid-'80s Black Flag (w/ Roessler and Stevenson) and Ornette Coleman's Prime Time ands, both of which revolutionized the way they heard music."
