"This is a band that could crush the American market place if given the opportunity yet with the

powers that be still operating with both feet planted firmly in 1968 the road will be long and the

fight will be hard. The cultural cold war in improvisational music could easily be over with super

groups such as Eyot taking the stage."

BRENT BLACK @ http://www.criticaljazz.com/

“It's every serious group's desire to craft an identifiable, and as far as possible, a unique sound

whereby just a few notes leave little doubt about who's playing. Serbian quartet Eyot achieved that

with its splendid debut, Horizon (Ninety and Nine Records,2011), where minimalism and power

went hand-in-hand in an intoxicating mix of jazz, art-rock, classical and Balkan folk melodies.

Drifters largely follows the same blueprint, though there is perhaps greater density in the group's

sound (...) It doesn't take too great a leap of imagination to see the power of Eyot in concert. That

fact Eyot has played jazz, punk and rock festivals, as well as in Cultural Centers, says something

about the special chemistry of the diverse musical elements that makes Drifters such a

rewardingexperience and a fine follow-up to its debut. A band to watch out for.”

IAN PATERSON @ http://www.allaboutjazz.com

"Eyot's music has a flow, a forward motion, that suggests the band is constantly attempting to

extend its musical horizon. It's a feeling that was already present on Eyot's debut release, called

Horizon (Ninety And Nine Records, 2011), but the fuller sound to be found on Similarity

accentuates it and gives it added urgency. These are exciting times for Eyot."

BRUCE LINDSAY @ http://www.allaboutjazz.com/

"The 'Similarity' artwork is inspired by an album of delicacy, the music talks of airiness and gentle

persuasion. It straddles the genres of Jazz, traditional Balkan musical and electronic earthiness that

gives the listener the space to breathe and dream."
