"powerful melodic lines . . . expansive collective improvisations . . . the kind of powerful hook that pops insistently into your head for weeks. Tin Fish Tango is a novel creation that manages to remain undeniably New Orleans."

- Zachary Young, OffBeat Magazine

NPR music blogger Patrick Jarenwattananon (“A Blog Supreme”) discusses “Tin Fish Tango” with Guy Raz on All Things Considered, 

"Plunge's music has a funky, let-the-good-times-roll atmosphere, calling to mind the French Quarter and the street musicians in action there. Killer sounds from down 'Nawlin's way."

- Dan McClenaghan, AllAboutJazz.com
