"Have you heard much post-minimalism by Philip Glass? It's all separation and dissection, one moment in time isolated and distributed across space. A premise gets broken into its simplest parts. An occurrence becomes a sentence then dissolves into syllables, and inherently breaks further still, until we arrive at the absolute of precision: beats. Glass would love Hecuba's debut album Paradise...He would call it a great hip hop album"

"Hecuba reconfigures songs as Tetris games with basic blocks that interlock in various ways. To continue the Tetris metaphor, the basic shapes would be simple beats, a repetitive synth line, and vocals that are either unadulterated or worked through the most primal of special postproduction effects. What's surprising is that even with this unusual aesthetic most songs on Paradise are dancefloor-ready."
