Oct 17, 2017The Ooz is an Archy Marshall hash, the strange scraps of his brain stewed into something unrecognizable and delicious.
-
Oct 13, 2017The OOZ drops at our feet like a piece of poisoned fruit, a masterpiece of jaundiced vision from one of the most compelling artists alive.
-
Oct 19, 2017No matter that feeling, illustrated with one distressed scene after another, filtered through a multitude of inspirations and a few bodily fluids, The Ooz is a completely engrossing work from a one-off.
-
Oct 11, 2017Taken whole, it’s a looping, dense, all-encompassing experience where anger and tenderness bang heads throughout. Marshall’s world is grimier than ever.

MagnetOct 17, 2017I hear another kid in the time honored-tradition of Paul Weller between the Jam and the Style Council, eager to explore the musical universe without any adults telling him how to go about it. [No. 147, p.55]

Oct 10, 2017The Ooz is a meandering, disorientating trip through punk, ska, jazz and hip hop--held together by Marshall’s menacing vocal sneer.
-
Nov 13, 2017The unpromising combinations separate rather than coalesce. The talented, pugilistic youngster’s best feels yet to come.
