X-Mist Review

X-Mist in Germany gave the record a great review. Read it here...

"Wow, this won me over from the first seconds! It starts with a bass-riff based on FLIPPER's "Sex Bomb", then comes in a xylophone, and the singer sounds like that guy from RAPTURE... They got a female singer as well, and they got everything that makes them GREAT! This band reminds me of anything that was ever fascinating about Post-Punk, No Wave, etc... hints of bands like BUSH TETRAS, PYLON, early SONIC YOUTH and many more come to mind - but the best thing is that CAP PAS CAP turn all this into a sound of their own! Not only the best thing out of Ireland since many many years, but maybe as well one of the best records of this and last year! This record features 5 songs pressed on white vinyl, and including a CDR containing the same songs as well - and the whole thing is limited 250 copies and already sold-out!!! We just happened to get a few of the very last copies available - so get it while you can!"
