"There are some cool folktronica sounds here, as explored on Bon Iver's "22, A Million." However, while that album is one of my all time favorites, the songs on this one seem much more repetitive and generic. The songs kinda do the same thing for 3 to 5 minutes and then end.

Still enjoyable, but not really worth listening to a lot.

"Yeah he definitely sounds a bit like ol' Thom on a few tracks here, particularly in his falsetto register, but his band's sound and the album's production is not really very Radiohead.

The production reminds me more of Beck's album Modern Guilt with its occasionally surf-style fuzzy guitars and snappy funk grooves. The melodies aren't as angular as Radiohead's post-OK Computer tunes either, and that makes these songs sound relatively more conventional. My favourite tracks on here are the ones that groove the most: Deep Pockets, The Oaks and Walk the Walk."[+]Reply
"Ka explores different themes theough his albums.

After the chess on "The Night's Gambit", the book "The Manchurian Candidate" on "Days with Dr. Yen Lo", then the samurai with "Honor Killed The Samurai", he now turns to Greek mythology with "Orpheus vs. The Sirens ". Thus each title of the project refers to a character or a famous passage of mythology: Hades, Sisyphus, Oedipus ... As usual, the Brooklyn MC expresses his experience on each piece, talking about his growing up as a teenager in New York devastated by crack and crime. Thus, Ka compares to Orpheus. Ka joined the Animoss beatmaker to form the Hermit & The Recluse duo. Animoss productions, rather minimalist and pure, fit perfectly into the mythological universe developed in the lyrics. With "Orpheus vs. The Sirens", Ka will have, once again, adapted a theme in the best way. He comes to affirm his talent and add a new record to his perfect discography. For personal reasons, "Orpheus vs. The Sirens" is my favorite album from Ka's discography.
