    On this nearly two-hour long album, Kali features one of the best drone-organ music recordings I've ever heard. Depending on your mood, this album won't satisfy you, but when you're open to listening to a long and ethereal organ-laden album, "Sacrificial Code" will be your best bet.

    This engrossing hour-and-three-quarter work pursues long-form drones at the pipe organ in a way that is both hypnotic and uplifting. [Oct 2019, p.30]

    By simultaneously disavowing and embracing the church, Malone has crafted a record of rare heft. The plaintive melodies that sit at the core of The Sacrificial Code often feel like they're stretching into eternity.
