Kudos from LA Record

"To have a successful rock duo, you really need a dynamic front (wo)man, and Amanda jones sure as shit sounds the part. She has the kind of childlike, girlish but not wide-eyed voice that evokes, say Emily Haines of Metric, kiddie-folker Melanie or even KatieJane Garside of the very early 90s alt-rock band Daisy Chainsaw. That last band might have the best footsteps for Jones to follow, since BLOOM is at its best when the Anti-Job pairs Jones' voice with loud, harsh stuff, like wah-wah synths, field recordings and space noises-like on the song "Running Down the Alleyway," which sounds like what would happen if a Prius commercial ended in a knife fight. The whole album has lovely live drums and bass and some subdued guitar strums here and there, all of which sit under a broad lattice-work of synths like the hanging gardens of Babylon. Perhaps that's why they called the album, BLOOM; it's a lovely space to walk around id, and it feels like the band is just starting to grow into something that will be even stronger for the very next release."
