    Luneworks is not a lulling listen; rather, the album seems to turn restlessly with sonic insomnia, the songs tracing the arc of some sleepless passage like a night plagued by intense longing.

    It’s a delicate, naked offering that flits between mournful vocals, processed backward synths and serrated edges of what sounds like guitar distortion.

    It’s hard to single out a standalone track from this impressive debut and this, in itself, is testament to the LP on the whole.

    The back end of the record seems to lose everything that is so great about Luneworks and replace it with something even better: a discordant, throbbing pulse.

    Although there is plenty that sounds of-the-moment we also get the sense that we’re drifting on a continuum between the future and the past.

    Luneworks works best when the Rhodes, laptop and ennui work in harmony, seemingly unguided, providing moments of pure blissed-out release.

    It can all be a bit hazy and formless, but when sweeping the sky for sounds on the ominous prog-drift of Body Studies or bathing in the light cast by Loveless on Deu, Colleran shows his skill at controlling the most nebulous sounds. [May 2016, p.112]
