    This is a synth album of considerable finesse, a soundtrack to imaginary films. [Nov 2016, p.67]

    Kuedo adroitly balances feelings of dread and comforting warmth over the course of the album to leave a mesmeric piece of work.

    In Kuedo’s hands, they’ve landed in nebulous terrain, drifting between possibilities of rhythm and bass, atmosphere and drone, noise and melody. It’s a beautifully complex tapestry.

    Slow Knife's best moments might even trump Severant. But Teasdale's efforts to escape the shadow of his debut sometimes lead him astray.

    You can't help but feel that the teasing at euphoria on Slow Knife would be a little less frustrating if the thing were allowed to crescendo further, and for some of that drumwork to be incorporated accordingly.
