here's what people have had to say about the single:

"This debut five track EP is a bicostal collaboration between the production/beat-making of anticon's Alias and the voice and inspiration of Rosa Tarsier Rapadas of New York's cinematronic duo, Healamonster & Tarsier. The EP is a lush blend of pop melodies, hushed vocals and classic anticon boom-bap beats reminiscent of Broadcast, Postal Service, Styrofoam and Lali Puna. Dr. C drops us directly into their bittersweet fantasy world, opening with a crunchy swell of noise breaking off and crackling with static before a pregnant pause and release. An upbeat acoustic guitar (courtesy of Anticon's own Telephone Jim Jesus) makes way for Tarsier's vocal and Alias' display ofwhirring keyboards, rickety clicks and pops, scruffy bass beats and ratcheted percussion. Instrumentals for both tracks feature, plus an exclusive remix of Dr. C. by Healamonster, Tarsier's usual collaborator." - Boomkat.com

"Next up is a 12" from Anticon producer Alias and Tarsier of Healamonster & Tarsier fame. The typically floating and softly spoken melody underlayed with busy Alias beats are the best canvas to showcase the art of Tarsier, with dreamy vocals draped over the beat. It starts off slowly, gaining impetus throughout before delivering a sure fire late night winner. Alias' beats can always be counted on for atmospherics, but the coupling of his production with the talents of Tarsier brings out the best of both." - caughtinthecrossfire.com

"i made the proclamation earlier this year that the indie hip-hop labels needed to pack the fuck up and run on home, mostly based on the enormous strength of the rhymefest tracks that had been leaking from his forthcoming album, as well as the magical, cracked-out brilliance of the new ghostface album.

i would like, if i may, to shelve that declaration.

from anticon come the new project of gothic, introspective, and darkly passionate producer/mc alias and new vocalist tarsier...called, creatively enough, alias & tarsier.

he's done all the music and instrumentation, which keeps the moody, ethereal feel of his "lillian" album (yes lillian not that lillian, oh, lillian...), and the vocals from tarsier provide a very lali puna feel...but less the lali that we've come to know as the freaked-out, paranoid female radiohead, and more of the sort that we got when, oddly enough, alias collaborated with lali puna on the styrofoam album from 2004.

it's dark, and emotional, and i really don't know where the rest of the album is going to go. though i think this TRACK is fucking phenom, i really hope the whole album doesn't remain mired in the emo-hop-songwriter genre, because the gnarls barkley album is going to destroy that genre this year.

so i'm putting my faith in the strength of this track, and how, about half way through, alias suppliments the simple instrumentation with some break-y flavoring and intensity, and i'm hoping that's the sort of one-upmanship the whole album will have when it drops may 23rd." - Resonator_Mag.livejournal.com

"This 12-only release acts as a teaser of sorts for the forthcoming collaboration album between Alias and Tarsier.

Featuring Dr C. and Five Year Eve, instrumentals of both tracks and an exclusive remix of Dr C. by Healamonster (Tarsiers usual collaborator), you couldnt really ask for much more in anticipation of the Brookland/Oaklyn album.

Admittedly the instrumentals are somewhat pointless (Tarsier is, after all, a vocalist) but Dr C. and Five Year Eve are both incredible songs. The former warps indulgently from a simple acoustic guitar riff into an explosion of skittering beats, Tarsiers sumptuous vocals and further guitarwork, breathtaking melodies languidly lacing the track. Five Year Eve on the other hand, seems to take the recent Alias and Ehren collaboration as a starting point before blowing itself wide-open on a mournful cello line and accompanying beats. Its a perfectly contrasting b-side bringing with it a more downbeat, darker atmosphere, yet it is no less captivating.

The album is going to be incredible.
