“Members of the Thing, White Denim, MF Doom, and Akkolyte have come together under this (relatively) new roof to create a sound that blends free jazz and hip-hop, seeing no distance between them.” - Pop Matters
“One of the most interesting and original acts in Texas - perhaps the entire planet” - The Austin Chronicle
“The Young Mothers are bringing forth more Free Improv violence before they're waving goodbye with "Shanghai", a surprisingly soulful and well epic closing tune catering a kind of cinematic drama and panorama scale production as a foundation for intense, yet distorted Rap-sequences and psychedelic guitar workouts. Interesting, this.” - Nitestylez
"No rest for the weak/No power in the streets," Taylor speaks, a throbbing bass riff and percussion section emerging and remaining locked into its pattern despite the scream-laden sections of high tempo violence.” - Letters From A Tapehead
“Then Young Mothers roared out of the gate with fierce, jarring visceral power. Theirs is a dense, multi-layered sound where Ivesian contrapuntal lines often divide the ensemble into competing units -- How fortunate 30 or so of us were that they docked in Deep Ellum last night. I'll be anxiously awaiting their return.” -Ken Shimamoto
