"Sounds like: A future where robots and humans share organic meals and feelings of hope." - MTV Iggy (US)
"The first track on Italian trio JoyCut's PiecesOfUsWereLeftOnTheGround album, 'Wireless,' is unbelievably sprightly, uplifting, and beautiful." - The Stranger (US)
"This is music that one can never get enough of." - Acoustic Music (US)
"For sheer onstage intensity, though, the Glimps gong goes to Italy, and festival-finishers JoyCut. They formed, they toured, they conquered." - Clash Magazine (UK)
"The songs are crafted with a great undertow of twitching melancholy and inventiveness that makes them hypnotic in their power and imagination." - Louder Than War (UK)
"JoyCut is making music for the future but luckily we get to hear it in the present. Two sets of drums and a whole mess of electronics are the tools that JoyCut use to make their magic" - Daytrotter (US)
