Details:
The cracked mermaid ornament on the cover of the Dagons' Teeth for Pearls isn't there by accident...
Teeth for Pearls reveals itself as a collection of punk fairy tales seething with a strange danger.
-Heather Phares, ALL MUSIC GUIDE

the soundtrack to a hypnotic nightmare or psychedelic amusement park
-Laura Pontillo, VENUS

With the best of the two-piece bands...you never feel like something's missing. I'd add to that short list this California couple , whose bangy garage blues is touched by a graceful, moody goth sensibility
-Monica Kendrick, CHICAGO READER

forever biting, drowning, dilating and stringing up their teeth for pearls; it's cruel and it's beautiful, and the nightmares all part of the pleasure
-Helen Spitzer, Inch Exclaim! Canada

dreamy vocals juxtaposed with the near-savage assault of Drew's drumming, sometimes resembling a strange hybrid of Romanian Gypsy folk music and punk rock
-Bob Cantu, PHOENIX NEW TIMES

This L.A. duo arrives cloaked in reverb and shadows
-TIME OUT NY

the Dagons never risk one-dimensionality, as surreal tunes like "Drill" (P.J. Harveyesque vocals grafted onto the Cramps' jungle twang) and "On This Bed Forever" (a noir, Nick Cave-like waltz) clearly evidence.
-Fred Mills, DETROIT METRO TIMES

The Dagons from LA are a stripped down duo of Karie Jacobson on vocals and guitars and Drew Kowalski on drums creating a dreamy poetic silky minimal pop cloud. Nice druggy and interesting
-BB, BB GUN

The Dagons reveal their musical lineage, and seem to hint that their intentions are to continue a timeless brand of songwriting. On Teeth For Pearls, they succeed admirably.
-Chuck Nolan, SEX AND GUTS
