Some reviews:
'Ikh Khüree' (an old name for Ulan Bator) explodes from whispering echo effects and emergent drones in to a doomy head banging drone fest with a psychedelic twist in the phasing guitars. The opening solo track from Huerequeque, 'Homöopaatiline epopöa' (homeopathic epic), lives up to its title with spiralling layers of noisy healing vibes, hovering above a monstrous monolithic drum chug, reflecting the ten minute closing solo track from Threes & Will, which unravels a perverted guitar noise jam over a mid-tempo drum beat. Blue Tapes rightfully name check Skullflower in their description of Blue Thirteen, as the bountifully theatrical noise rock of Matt Bower's guitar tempests and Stuart Dennison's epic percussive clatter are close aesthetic relatives. Skullflower's music dealt with terrestrial terrors though, and there's something of the celestial in Blue Thirteen's colossal noise. Blue Thirteen is restlessly propelled through an ocean of turbulent fuzz by the pair responsible, taking in near-danceable drum patterns, doom-esque guitar squall, and waves of acidic psych-noodling, all shrouded under a coating of concrete-grey lo-fidelity. The colour-tinted psychedelic touches to Threes and Will & Huerequeque's noise thrust open the doors to the astral plane, like the pained ecstasy of an ancient Chinese torture victim, kept conscious by intravenously adminsistered opium. Unlucky for some? Not by any stretch of the imagination. - The Quietus, best tapes of 2014
The two bands bring you five venomous, pants-fouling brickbats of noise that will either delight you or, if you can’t appreciate their slabs of sound, make you pay for it. It’s not a release to appreciate the finer points of, because there aren’t any and often it’s better that way; yet, beneath the harsh surface drone are pearls of meticulous soundcraft, bloody and bashed though they are before they get to reach your eardrums. - Louder Than War
Here’s a track that could once and for all unite the solid state amp fetishists with the kraut-heads. Estonian droners Threes and Will & Huerequeque take the repetitive onslaught and bottomless tone of Earth’s approach, extract the palm-muted metal chug, and set it to an acid soaked, monotonous cantor. The oscillating low-end hum of feedback drifts like magma underneath tectonic crust of the track’s guitar squall. - Ad Hoc
What an extraordinary release. Blue Tapes continues to unleash the most astonishing stuff on the world. One of the releases of the year. - Mark Whitby, Dandelion Radio
...a torrent of spectacular noise that manages to be abrasive and yet contain enough subtle manipulations to crank itself up into new areas when you'd begun to suspect there was nowhere else it could possibly find to go - Unwashed Territories, #4 best album of 2014
This is a strong EP release. It's dirty, noisy and intense with plenty of distortion and bass frequencies cutting through the speaker. - Intravenous Magazine
Cassettes by the Blue Tapes label are obviously copied on blue tapes but not always have a lot of information on the package itself. Nothing, for instance, on the tape by Threes And Will & Huerequeque, of whom I never heard before. If I understood well from the press text, a duo from Estonia, one being Threes And Will and the other Huerequeque. They have three lengthy cuts on this thirty-minute of excellent noise rock. Their drums might be coming out of a box, or played on a drum kit, but the guitars are surely played through lots of stomp boxes to create a lovely psychedelic and minimal noise rock. The references here are to Skullflower, but I would think the whole genre of noise rock meeting krautrock is as much a valid reference. Play Loud music would be the best tag for this music. A heavy rolling rock of music . - Vital Weekly
Die Schulterschluß von Threes And Will und Huerequeque klingt noisig, dreckig und intensiv. Mit repetetiven Patterns, heftigen Verzerrungen und Extrakten aus Stoner, Drone und Psych kreiert die schleierhafte Estische Kooperation eine toxische Tinktur. Unmengen an Tieffrequenzen, Fuzzsounds und Feedback sickern als „Blue Thirteen“ aus den Lautsprechern. - Klangverhältnisse

In 1953, a dying Aborigine named Kinjika was flown from Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory to a hospital in Darwin. Tests revealed he had not been poisoned, injured, nor was he suffering from any sort of injury. Yet, the man was most definitely dying. After four days of agony spent in the hospital, Kinjika died on the fifth.
One-man band from Estonia.
