Andrei Rikichi - "Caged Birds Think Flying Is An Illness" (BS056)

Yes, indeed once again Bearsuit Records have released an album crammed with original thought-provoking music that is both experimental but also very listenable. An album that takes electronica, dance and cinematic sculptures to a new and experimental place, a place where white noise and James Bond soundtracks collide to great and unusual effect...
[Monolith Cocktail]

Un album frammentato nella scaletta, ma intimamente coeso, con brani che si pongono come delle piccole storie spesso sarcastiche e grandguignolesche. Un esordio convincente per un musicista a nostro parere da seguire...
[Europa e Cultura Elettronica]

Whilst sliding down the slippery, blood-soaked slope of the horror show ‘They Don’t See The Maelstrom’, you’ll appreciate Rikichi’s command of the studio and all its inherent madness and tricks, like a mad scientist version of Carl Stalling ...And ‘Death Of A Postmaster’ is one of the most beautifully sombre pieces of funeral music you’ll hear this year
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

Disque habillé de liberté et de magnificence, où le grandiloquent se fait éclatant, où la beauté s’habille de noirceur, où la musique reflète la complexité de l’Homme. Sublime
[Silence & Sound]

It’s disjointed, weird, confusing, sometimes harsh, occasionally melodic, and it makes me happy that there are still companies out there like Bearsuit who remind us all there are still folks out there pushing the boundaries of how we define what music is...
[Set The Tape]

Caged Birds Think Flying is a Sickness leaves you feeling addled and in a spin. It’s uncanny because it’s familiar, but it isn’t, as the different elements and layers intersect. It’s the sonic representation of the way in which life and perception differ as they collide
[Aural Aggravation]

Ageing Children - "Strummin'" (BS030) 

An ominous sleepy headed moocher [‘Slow Motion Stampede’] which if I didn’t know any better sounds not unlike the Grails totally out of it on industrial strength tranqs marooned amid the cold minimalist landscapes of New Order’s ‘movement’. 
[Mark Barton - The Sunday Experience] 

The twelve tracks explore the fringes of modern music, a place where most artists would not dare to follow. This album is about experimentation and not about crafting another set of mundane pop songs. 
[Floorshime Zipper Boots] 

Another fearsome slab of genius from Bearsuit Records 
[Steve Bromley/Gnomefoam] 

No-fi-electro-rock-n-ambient-noise-pop makers, Ageing Children. It sounds all right to me. It's what we need more of on BBC Radio Lancashire. It's what we're crying out for. There's just just not enough of them around. 
[Steve Barker - “On The Wire”] 

If you're looking for a bit of weirdness in your life then you could do worse than finding Bearsuit Records – and the disturbingly monikered Ageing Children. Guaranteed to screw up any sort of peaceful thoughts you're having in the evening... Rather marvellous! 
[Keith Whitham - “Wired”] 

Really impressive album! A touch of genius 
[Tom Byrne - Primal Radio] 

Fantastic tunes from the excellent "Strummin" LP by Ageing Children 
[Phil Vickery - “In-Tune”]

Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai  - “The Lost Charles Underscore” (BS023) 

It's hard to find words for something as elusively brilliant as this. The band's album has been put out by the very fine Bearsuit Records and for me it's their best release yet.  
Unwashed Territories 

A wonderfully addictive LP! Off-rail beauty and lovely glitched soundscapes - electronic music at a searingly creative level. If you add this LP to your record collection I’ll buy you a pint and marry your sister. 
Phil Vickery (In-Tune - Bcfm) 

An imaginative album of electronic glitches, sparse melodies and an acid trip of sonic themes. This is an album of strong originality, which spans lo-fi garage to retro psych.  
Floorshime Zipper Boots 

’Doll’ with all the strangest and out there-ness that you’ve come to love, adore and indeed worry about from these weird sound imps. Four and a half minutes of deeply unsettling aural disquiet, a superbly crafted smoke and mirrors melodic mirage … 
Tales From The Attic  

I can’t understand why you wouldn’t want to buy that! [“The Lost Charles Underscore”] 
On The Wire (BBC Radio Lancashire)   

The two crazy artists truly excel in psychedelic noise garage trash pop. Everyone tired of the same old crap will most surely find a lot to savour on this grand collaborative record. 
DisAgreement (Pascal Thiel) 

Repeat listens will reveal a sonic intelligence at work (and play) here that would work wonderfully in a cinematic setting. These guys need to get involved in film music to share their concoctions with a greater audience. Rob Zombie, Danny Boyle, Quentin Tarrentino, Tim Burton… have I got a band for you to compose your next soundtrack! 
Psychedelic Baby (Jeff Penczak) 

[AWSTS] Great favourites of this show 
(Mark Whitby - Dandelion Radio)

Twelve moments of strangeness sit with the goofy grooves of ‘The Lost Charles Underscore’. The frankly wired and scuzzed out ‘Drink It Up’ belches along a grizzled dust racked highway once frequented by a youthful Tom Waits channelling the spirit of Beefheart… Goes without saying you need this in your listening life.   
The Sunday Experience (Mark Barton)

Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai  - "Sweetness & Light" (BS007)

"...The songs themselves are oddities sometimes lo-fi and sometimes bursting with clarity but always with a strange ability to derail themselves without warning"
[Bluesbunny]
