Rumoured to be “demented instrumental acid-rock with robotic melodies that sound like party music from an episode of Doctor Who" or "a three-way tug-of-war between frisky, soulful garage rock, frenetic funk, and swaggering 70s proto-metal" - Protovulcan is actually just Deric Criss (Aleks and the Drummer, Walking Bicycles) on drums and Will MacLean (formerly of Mercury Rev offshoot Variety Lights) on moog bass, wurlitzer, and vocoder.
