• "Hecuba opens your eyes, literary and emotionally...this uncategorizable band belongs to museums, to happenings, to clubs, and to theaters; it is familiar as the past but takes you into the future."
  -LA Weekly
  
  "Have you heard much post-minimalism by Philip Glass? It's all separation and dissection, one moment in time isolated and distributed across space. A premise gets broken into its simplest parts. An occurrence becomes a sentence then dissolves into syllables, and inherently breaks further still, until we arrive at the absolute of precision: beats. Glass would love Hecuba's debut album Paradise. He'd want to slice it into a million pieces and decorate a tree with it."
  -LA Record
  
  "Given the minimalistic electronic and piano arrangements here that frequently place Albuquerque and Beasley's duetted vocals in the foreground, it's perhaps easy to see why Philip Glass comparisons have been made in relation to Hecuba, but in this case 'Paradise' sees the duo pursuing a classic pop path that runs directly from the classic FM likes of The Carpenters and The Cars, right through to more contemporary RNB and artists on the periphery of the dance scene such as Roison Murphy."

  "Hecuba's dubbed-out drone-moan is the L.A. version of New York bands like Excepter or Gang Gang Dance: sexier, cleaner, not as gnarled, more open spaces, more vocals, hippie-friendly, less concerned about their record collection, would rather dance to hip-hop than talk about it, not afraid of a little glitter, better filling your lungs than your nostrils, has photo shoots, trims beards."
