    There’s nothing amateurish about their album, which is as thoughtful in its track order as it is in its composition.

    Pasar de las Luces is over an hour in length, and while it is immersive and layered enough to justify a long run time, it still feels overlong. Nevertheless, it's a thoughtful and aurally beautiful album.

    Mint Field's gloominess is very real and relatable, and their debut is a truly remarkable work of art.

    Estrella Sanchez and Amor Amezcua (daughter of Mexican rave icon Bostich) avoided the trap of a rushed debut album, and Pasar De Las Luces justifies the simmering approach, albeit too long at 64 minutes. [Mar 2018, p.58]

    [A] fine album. If melancholy had a soundtrack, it would be Mint Field’s De Las Luces.

    Spacey and lush dream pop from 21 yr olds Estrella Sanchez & Amor Amezcua. A joy.
