CRITIC REVIEWS

The 405

The record is an example what exceptional originality and limitless ambition can conjure, with more subtle glories than it's possible to express in words.

Tiny Mix Tapes

For Pickering, electronic music is as powerful as any supernatural promise, and on House of Woo, he demonstrates his dedication to the beat with a most persuasive degree of conviction.

FACT Magazine

House Of Woo is one of the sparkier dance albums of the year so far, and a gem amidst all the buncombe.

78
Pitchfork

Despite the hours of recliner replayability, nothing on Woo is particularly plush or friendly-- instead, it pushes happily into the unfamiliar, hacking away at the brush, disappearing into CGI shadows.

Beats Per Minute

House of Woo suggests an artist who’s still coming into his own without being afraid to play chameleon at the DJ booth.

Trying my best to set my bias against house music aside for this...

There's elements I quite enjoy here and there, with some of the funkier more upbeat songs actually getting my head to bop along with them. Sometimes the production slips into a nice little pocket with some vibey synths and drums, but listening to this for an entire hour felt like a chore.

The second half brings it up a notch. it's much harsher and more experimental than the first, but still doesn't really float my boat
