Press

"Pet Bottle Ningen’s new album is as defiant as a tricycle whizzing down Mount Everest. Exactly what a hardcore vegan, hot-shit jazz drummer, and Japanese child prodigy should sound like: intense, marginalized, replete with comedic moments of the socially dubious kind, a damn entertaining road trip."

— Valerie Kuehne, The Deli Magazine

““Pet Bottle” significa botella de plástico en el idioma (Japonés/Inglés), y “Ningen” significa “humano”. La palabra “Pet Bottle Ningen” viene por una de los chistes favoritos de comedia de Nonoko." -The Holy Filament”

“ "Pet Bottle Ningen is one of the most exciting young bands today that eschews various genre's territorial pissings and transforms them into complex yet catchy compositions. Academic leanings commingling with raw fury; they are a youthful reminder of the potency of New York's vibrant downtown music scene." -Chuck Bettis www.chuckbettis.com”

— Chuck Bettis

“Pet Bottle Ningen: Pet Bottle Ningen [#7802] The second release in the new Tzadik Spotlight Series features another wild cutting edge group out of the youngest generation of the NY downtown scene. This freewheeling sax-guitar-drums trio performs startling stop and start compositions that mix genres and jumps from moment to moment with energy, speed and precision. The trio blends contemporary compositional techniques with improvisation, allowing the textures to morph and change with kaleidoscopic brilliance.”
