"Lively, melodic songwriting and a vast array of experimental, instrumental parts."—The Deli Mag
"Carvest packs a recognizable punch, creating a glorious mess of grunge, alt, and noise rock. It differs from Scott's past efforts in that it is often more stripped down, intimate, and at times even autobiographical. Much of Carvest speaks to life in your thirties and many of the situations we all face. 'I Look at Miserable' is a well-balanced track that pulls together a thick catchy bass loop, screeching riffs, and vocals dripping with sarcasm. This opener sets the tone for the album, and is a fun, nostalgic '90s alt-rock tune. 'White Noise' is a bit stripped down, yet has a similar mock anthem energy. That's a common theme as much of the album appears simple at first—loop, guitar, and vocals, but it's what Scott does with those elements that makes the album unique and infectious. 'Pay Attention to Me Blues' feels most like the album's hit single, heavily reminiscent of R.E.M. and Sebadoh. 'Stormin' Norman's Social Security Check' is a stripped down acoustic number, with a western vibe and heart-on-your-sleeve honesty, taking on a different energy than much of the album. Overall the record hits a lot of different notes and moods, while still remaining cohesive."—Joshua Tabbia, Already Dead Tapes
"Hard Job is BACK! [Intesticide is] a solid follow-up to Scott's 2019 Carvest, evoking that familiar sense of feeling stuck but with a determination to unstick."—Clay Lapari, Bandcamp
"I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria."—Dock Ellis, not talking about Hard Job, but he could have been
