“A multistylistic force who plays in the imaginative piano trio Rooms as well as in the rising pop-rock band Ohmme.”

-Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader

“Percussionist Matt Carroll, a late addition, does astounding work curving around the duo(Ohmme) with finesse like Fiona Apple’s collaboration with Charley Drayton on The Idler Wheel.”

 -Maggie Lange, Pitchfork
