Reviews

"The group creates slow-burning soundscapes reminiscent of Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mogwai's, but less dramatic... Layers upon layers of guitars create a textual mood that ranks with some of the best post-rock sounds out there." - IS Magazine, 26 Jan 2007 [Singapore]
"...haunting and utterly unforgettable." - TODAY, 17 Feb 2007 [Singapore]
