Spin Magazine
"...dynamic, genre-defying act from ambitious local label Highwheel."
TimeOut Chicago
"Arks use heavy bass lines with ethereal, howling vocals for their own brand of abstract rock."
New City, Chicago
"This is the music an astronaut hears in his head when he's seperated from his ship, floating endlessly into the darkness, alone, scared and waiting for help that may never come."
UR Chicago
"Taking cue from their idols - including Sonic Youth and the A-Frames - Arks have fused together favorite sounds into a high-volume landscape that leans toward Brit-rock while fighting the garage rock takeover.
- Trish Bendix
New City, Chicago
"(Arks) mixes damp Brit-pop with space-out death marches...keeps it fresh with a sense of utter darkness, and the band's recent EP, "Or Else It's Not There," consistently throws mood in your face."
- Tom Lynch
The Empty Bottle, Chicago
"(Arks) ...plays discordant, insistent and wiry rock."
