Press:

"Fijit rumble like a fine seafood buffet, bestowing upon the listener a rich melange of tender delicacies juxtaposed against crustaceous husked monstrosities. An often subtle, sometimes ferocious treat that will leave you hugging your knees like a child, give you chronic insomnia, and shatter the smoldering, hollow plastic remnants of your human shell... antennae, barnacles, snapping pinchers and the insatiable sound of the sea..." - WGS, CARBON REVIEW
