"The music’s subtly enhanced naturalism flips the artist-masters-material dynamic of their other work, creating instead a sense of two men painting shapes upon a space that’s deep and wide. But the vastness does not dwarf them. By dint of technology and musical personality, they make each baleful expression count, delivering music that resonates with the many needless and inescapable disasters of our times." - Bill Meyer

"If you’ve ever been attracted by the end of the world, this is for you. Let its spark tempt you, let the nothingness feel like home – the end is one more image, and it will turn its back on you, too. By the time its alienating, bleak music suddenly falls quiet, it will let you return to others, it will let you appreciate the joy of belonging. After all, it is the canvas that is made of horizons, not the other way around. - David Murrieta Flores, A Closer Listen."
