I've owned this album for years but have bought it again for the high quality download. Absolutely outstanding work, one of my favourite bands of all time. elsharpo
One review called this "a masterpiece"...well,no...not really...that's a terrible poison chalice to saddle any new band with. Some people have also called this 'math rock'...well,if that means precise rhythms,breakneck unison playing and eccentric time signatures (the drummer sometimes sounds like a rock-drill on steroids),then that would have been a term to apply to the Mahavishnu Orchestra or,indeed,Troyka...another review called this "like nothing you've ever heard"...well,no...
No,this is a very good workout with some interesting ideas but they can be repetitive without a sense of development,I think. It actually works better when it slows down a bit and takes a breath and becomes less autistic...
Technically very challenging but emotionally a little arid in places. It is a rewarding listen but this band have a lot more development in the tank and don't need the over-hype...

We love the simplicity of these guys' demeanor, with a huge musical world within them! There are only 3 people in the band, but everyone gives 100%. The drummer is sweating after the first minute, the guitarist and the bassist are constantly switching from guitars to synths. The synergy between them is amazing! Wannabes Music Club
Tasmanian guitarist Julius Schwing embraces the visceral sounds of finger playing, incorporating them into his experimental guitar work. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 8, 2022
Beautiful, elegantly wrought instrumentals with the grace and delicacy of slowcore mark the latest from James Schroeder. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 28, 2020
Everything I love: heavy-as-dumptrucks, odd-meter riffs, beautifully expansive textures and no pretension. This band is truly fantastic. The cream of the genre. Vadim Kharaz
