THE RADICAL BAD ATTACK reviews:
"Her magnificent mongrel beats and eloquent satirising of sex, materialism and pop culture will have you thinking, laughing and dancing, all at the same time. Let's hope her next album's a triple." Grant Smithies - Sunday Star Times
"ludicrously brilliant… while many can claim their own sound Hansell truly has her own style, one she owns indefatigably…the creativity is rampant" Jim Pinckney – The Listener
"Coco Solid proves that their wit, charm and downright sassiness is anything but a one-trick pony with the dance-floor driven Sex side and the more 'experimental' Science side. Awesome shit." Andrew Tidball - www.cheeseontoast.co.nz
