CRITIC REVIEWS

Tiny Mix Tapes

Crampton’s work adopts its own distinct language, and Demon City uses that language to relate, in her words, an “epic poem” — a resonant narrative of apocalypse and transformation.

90
The 405

A complement to Homer, whose exquisite myth catapulted the bard himself into the realm of myth, Crampton fashions a performative poetics that performs its own brown, queer, and sublime reality.

Pretty Much Amazing

It’s often beautiful, but it’s confusing, and the layers of concept aren’t much help ... It’s Crampton channeling her own history into 25 bracing, punk minutes of post-everything, out-there, futurist electronic madness. 

82
Pitchfork

Demon City ... is a wonder of concision and represents another massive leap forward in her growth.

80
SPIN

By seamlessly incorporating disparate collaborations into the fabric of this City, Crampton summons a greater collective strength than they’ve exhibited on their own.

Resident Advisor
Her teeming audio collages smack as much of spectacular futures as distant pasts and a very real present.

Bad = 3, 6
Trash = 5

Nice music to listen to in the jungle's of the future. Ironically the best song on the album isn't even produced by Elysia Crampton, but rather Lexxi, who produced the last track.
