"If Fiona Apple had been born a boy, and grew up on the coast among coarse, friendly fishermen until the age of 7, and then he was dragged to the middle of a Connecticut cornfield to live out his teenage years in a state of mild social alienation, he might have a shot at growing up to be André Balazs. Balazs' voice is a bedraggled diver emerging from the sea, detritus from various nations clinging to his wetsuit: a sushi dish, beer bottles, Russian nesting dolls, and Prozac. That is to say, all those elements show up in his songs, but effortlessly, seemingly of their own accord. The Soviet kitsch of "Wasabi" could give Regina Spektor a run for her money; the one-man-and-his-piano gravity of Balazs' "Last Request" is self-consciously undercut by the chatter of an uninterested crowd. This is rock 'n' roll, children. This is rock 'n' fucking roll." -Dan Berry
