"'Taste' is more Stereolab-style, with lots of synths and dreamy, wavering vocals."
Andy Mulkerin - Pittsburgh City Paper
"Another example of the Van Allen’s illimitable capability to absorb all manner of strange and exotic influences into their ambitious, movie styled, panoramas."
Dominc Valvona - Monolith Cocktail
lyrics
I have trouble with my taste
Seems that sense has been replaced
Nothing is more absurd to me
Than falling in love with currency
And out in the wild all the lions fight it out
I’m too busy having important things to talk about
Pay no attention to the pirates you can blame
Did you hear so-and-so is going with what’s-her-name?
There is nothing left to taste
Every flavor’s been erased
Taking a bath in luxury
Feeding this great catastrophe
Tracking lines on the old-time rewind
All these pieces have long been assigned
