    A meticulous and bold piece of sound art, but one which is rooted in a plaintive local, human response to global catastrophe. [Mar 2023, p.91]

    Overall, Almanac Behind is perhaps the most successful of Bachman’s “noise records”.

    On his latest album, Almanac Behind, nature takes center stage, sometimes overwhelming the music completely.

    Bachman probably spent more of Almanac Behind’s production time processing sounds than strumming strings. [Jan 2023, p.61]
