‘It’s a beautiful record, filled with stones melancholia. Very good for late nights and first-light mornings.’
Ted Kessler, the New Que, Dec 2022.
‘ A glorious psych rock album full of epic sound scapes. Highly recommended.’
Colours through the Air, Dec 2022.
‘ The album is full of electronic pulses, distant dream like vocals, ‘Sonic cathedrals of sound’, vintage synth patterns, ambience, & chimmy Mersey-psych. ‘
Also features in their top 50 albums of 2022.
