about

‘A Conglomeration of Jockstraps’ sits in a long lineage: the films of David Lynch, the monologues of Ivor Cutler’s ‘Tales From A Scottish Room’ series, the music of The Bonzo Dog Band, the records of The Residents, the cut-up novels of William S Burroughs, the Christmas broadcasts of The Beatles for their fan club (1966-67), the radio humour of The Goons, all the way back to the1920s artists Salvador Dali and Marcel Duchamp. This is serious stuff – up to a point. Despite the occasional vocoder effect that makes him sound like Professor Stephen Hawking, Reaks owes as much to Frank Sidebottom as Dada, as likely to mock Geoff Capes or Steve Cram as try to explain the meaning of everything, as likely to burst into laughter at his own wit as say something profound'.  - Graham Chalmers
