| About Cougar |
Emergency rock/rescue culture.
Debut full-length 'Law' CD/LP available now.
Mixed by John Mcentire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake).
New album 'Patriot' forthcoming.
'Law is a nearly flawless example of intelligent musical design.' - XLR8R
'Pure Pleasure.' - Timeout Chicago
'A bittersweet, innocent wash of trickling guitars that counter each other like diffident sea creatures in courtship...harnessing layers in icy, crystalline symmetry.' - Pitchfork
'Already one of the best albums of 2006.' - Sinead Gleeson
'Melodically lush, rhythmically compelling...gloriously precise and urgent.' - The Wire
"Breathtaking...Best of 2006 alert!' - Scissorkick.com
'Outstanding.' - new-noise.net
'Pushing the boundaries of the instrumental music medium...Law hasn't left my stereo for weeks.' - CDreviews.com
'What Bartok and Stravisnky might have done had they lived and composed in the computer age.' - Rocknworld.com
'This album has so much beauty that words escape me.' - Liability Webzine
'When Law came to its conclusion, I had a moment of traquility engulfing me, until I panicked, searching for the repeat setting.' - Outsideleft
