"Named after the scientific designation for an African wild dog once referred to by UCLA geneticist Robert Wayne in Discover magazine as "not being one of the disco animals," Lycaon Pictus aren't disco animals either but rather an excellent new art-punk band starring one John Morton (from Ohio's legendary Electric Eels, maybe?). They would've fit right in on Ralph Records in 1979, though how their snappy, deranged dirges creepy-crawl though post-nuclear technology has as much to do with early Pere Ubu as with, say, Tuxedomoon."
Chuck Eddy, Village Voice
