In the 70's, Jimmy Page spent years shooting smack and making a soundtrack for Kenneth Anger that ended up sounding like Macho Blush's recorded music." - The Austin Cut
('Under Weight') "expect cymbal crashing, floor toms, demonic chanting and a shitload of distortion. It’s not total cut-up, as the substance is of a consistency and human speed…” - Animal Psi “Gina’s experiments with layering tracks to choice piano flourishes and demented percussion turn snide mantras like “sweat-shop/slave-ship” into ingrowths of politics and nihilism of form. Within nine miracles, she hones in flecks of acoustic clash, warped chanting, and mixing alchemy to create some jarring internal care that all at once creates an uneasy of pure relaxation… Progressing sound is the name of the game, and not only is Gina Probst on that via holistic listening…” - Tiny Mix Tapes Collaged and messed within the cycle of “what is music?” in honor of the Unsick, she has recorded some of these healing sessions and put it out on Crash Symbols.

Across her growing discography, self-released and occasionally in association with Austin noise outlets, Probst fuses diverse elements into rugged timbres. as well as the peculiar influence of emergent no-wave sensibilities in psychedelia.
