HØNS! features some amazing collaborations from the likes of Kate Havnevik, Alison Shaw of Cranes and Laura Becerra of Carrie (Static Discos). Alarm magazine says its one of this week's best albums! Tasty Fanzine (UK) says..."The electronics interplay is complex, layered, and animated, constantly shifting and bristling densely with crisply pattering noises of all sorts, from fuzzy static and glitches to warped bends and metallic skittering, from icy, chiming tinkling to the zesty zing of arcade sounds." and Vital Weekly "Think Patrick Catani or Mark Boombastik or even Felix Kubin, I wouldn't be surprised if Dokkemand would be the next star on the scene."
