Our latest review from Artsy Noise e-zine says quite a bit in that respect:
10 Lb. Libido
Written by Elizabeth Benavidez
Self defined jam band 10 LB. Libido's 4 track ep is great for people who like musically diverse bands. This seems like the ideal Seattle Festival band with it's blend of funk and jazz. I can think of a few bands trying this style but none that are pulling it off as well as 10 Lb. Libido. Strong vocals and musicianship makes this CD something that a large group of people can listen to and everyone will be satisfied. There really isn't a standout track for me as I enjoyed all the songs. It's the kind of music you can get lost in and just feel good listening to.
I'll leave you with that and with that I'll see you at the show!
P.S. There's more than four songs on this e.p., just thought you should know. There's actually 8 if I'm not mistaken...
