| “True Zebra” is a really good album, getting better every time you listen to it!

"True Zebra’s self-titled album is very enjoyable and would appeal to fans of many genres of music: rock, pop, industrial, electronic. It is very unlike most of the stuff coming out of Belgium"

"...there is neo-classical and noise combinations pinning under sometimes only glimpses of melody. Modern machine work holds it all together, while giving set room upon the sound canvas to allow the thin dark lines to intrude upon the brighter corner. It's a lot like walking in the city at night, at once comforting, tensive and scary. Kinda like a nervous breakdown, or a small dose of psychotica." -Underground Records USA.
