"... Turtleboy is indeed an ensemble to watch. Musical integrity coupled with a sense of lyrical purpose that seems to be fully understood by all members finds Turtleboy an absolute gem ... Smart Matter is just that, intelligently executed alternative music ..."

Smart Matter reveals a talented sax/guitar/drums trio that loves playing together and is always looking for new ways to reach listeners with music that doesn’t sacrifice smarts to accessibility (and vice-versa). A rare bassless, pianoless jazz trio, Turtleboy integrates influences including Stan Getz, Wayne Krantz and Ben Monder with Radiohead and electronica to forge an original sound. Concepts from free jazz and the entire jazz tradition meet indie rock on this 2011 release, creating an experience that is steeped in atmospheric space, loose grooves and intelligent improvised interactions.
