"Relentless experimentalists"
DAZED & CONFUSED"Showing the world what the future sounds like"
SOMA MAGAZINE"No matter what they attempt, they seem to execute it beautifully. The best part is that it's unclassifiable. It's nothing you've heard before. It's Hecuba."
URB"An inventive, darkly addictive album. All these songs twist and turn and fuck with your head, especially when they turn into pop tunes… building atmospheres pregnant with dread and desire."
NME"Glorious, sci-fi inspired Greek tragedy"
DAZED & CONFUSED"Every element of Paradise provides a unique taste of what-the-fuck pleasure… captivating, beautiful, and otherworldly strange."
URB"A melodic Suicide"
BIG STEREOIn short: a mood masterclass
ARTROCKER"That first refrain found me singing along to a song I'd never heard before, a diabolical catchiness I didn't question until I realized what I was singing: "I got beat up but I'm laughing now/I got beat up but I'm laughing now"—to the most deviant meter this side of the prime meridian. Hecuba is like Sparks meets Depeche Mode no wait '50s R&B no wait, fuck it, Hecuba is like nothing else. After recently shaving their eyebrows and cropping their locks, Isabelle and Jon became visual synonyms, elevating androgyny from charade to brilliance… Like their mythological namesake, Hecuba begets heroes. Listen to their songs, and you'll know what I mean."
LA RECORD"Plays out like a dream"
