"Chiming electro rock that goes beyond the ideas Wire have explored in their later years." Sun 13
"He produces music and videos that audaciously whack every mole in the artistic arcade — garage-rock, power-pop, new wave, electronica, psychedelia — while maintaining a stylish minimalism and pointed propulsion." Tinnitist
"Dare’s talent as an artist is evident as he carefully balances wild experimentation with structure. This is a track that’s rooted in the avant-garde tradition but draws influence from the cinematic world of John Carpenter, with its ominous, synth-driven atmosphere and suspenseful tone." Edgar Allen Poets
"The new single Brutalised Robotics is out now, to warm our ears and rewire our brains and boy does it do just that. A chiming electro rock track that makes you think, keeps you static and is just straight weird in the best possible way." Forte
"Brutalised Robotics sounds like Isaac Asimov meets Gary Numan-core. Yes, channeling all this psychedelic-motorik aesthetic from Kraftwerk and Can to new wave and indietronica acts, this song is rhythmically infectious. It is also hit-leaning thanks to its incendiary backing vocal parts and a dose of throwback Britpop guitar hooks." Grotesqualizer
"Darren Smallman might well be one of the most intense musicians right now. Brutalised Robotics is an in-your-face dystopian skewed rocker, with mussy keyboards riding shotgun." Here Comes The Flood
"If dystopia had a dancefloor, Dez Dare's "Brutalised Robotics" would be the anthem blasting from its glitchy speakers." HypeHub
"A brutal brainbreaker, pulverizing my headphones. The shocking combination of paranoid electronics, ruthless percussion, far-out guitars, neurotic vocals and a battering chorus works like a motorized chainsaw. DD nails it. Very loud and very clear." Turn Up The Volume
"Brutalised Robotics, is a raw, electrifying piece of sonic art that taps into our collective anxieties about technology, consciousness, and the future. If you’re looking for a track that’s as intellectually engaging as it is sonically adventurous, Brutalised Robotics is an experience you won’t want to miss." Hella Fuzz
