"Blues Control might just be the missing link between Van Halen and Henry Flynt. They are a duo. Lea Cho plays swank but grounded atmospheric keyboard parts for guitar player and manipulator of assorted junk-on-table Russ Waterhouse to cut through, whittle and lay waste to. It's a hazy, spaced world that exists between fuzzed distortion, jabbering electronics, a lazy stay-in-bed psychedelic glaze, with rhythmic keyboards pulsating below it all." - Holy Mountain

"Alice Cohen has recently performed at The Kitchen (with Delia Gonzales and Gavin Russom), and at Deitch Projects, with artist Terence Koh. She has recorded and toured in various bands, going back to The Vels in the 80's, Die Monster Die in the 90's, and more recently The Long Lost and Castles, to name a few. Currently performing as a solo artist, her new work blends futuristic keyboard tones with transcendental guitar riffs and train of thought lyrics. Cohen's songs take you to locations found in dreams and the subconscious, with tales involving seaweed and outerspace. Sometimes catchy, with a darkened pop core, the sound still ventures into unexpected landscapes."
