"A terrific bubbling bass line underscores the vocoder enhanced 'Get Out', a track that highlights the overall creativity that has been brought to bear on Neon Young. This duet about "Oakland's rapid gentrification" is a multi-layered piece of experimental pop that fizzes along to combine so many elements brilliantly. The first single to be lifted from the album, 'Violetest Red', employs a different approach with a generally slower score, call and response vocal interaction, harmonised backing vocal and more conventional percussive pattern. The album maintains this variety through the majority of the tracks ensuring that you never switch off and that it's always at least interesting." - Contact Music
"Ultimately, Neon Young is a record about repression and identity, about the pathways forged when life begins to suffocate, and the lengths that people go to just to survive. “To be from nowhere, which we both were,” says Dose, “and have nothing but your dreams and a desire to manifest them with like minds? That day is done.” Crash concurs, “We have to stay connected when everything’s crumbling. This album is a flag for people struggling with this shit.”
