    An exciting second album. ... Their otherworldly fetishisation of dystopian collapse is so exhilarating it’s almost tolerable. [May 2020, p.48]

    Their latest 2020 full-length Tearless hones their typically obscure modes into their most precise concept yet. That is, the 10-track album aesthetically maps the failing Anthropocene. It offers limited, ambiguous answers through words, as expected, but it powerfully speaks about our divisive world through artistic and aural choices.

    Where Another Life felt bright and alert, shimmying towards oblivion like lemmings in a conga line, Tearless is burned out and overwhelmed. This is ugly music, even at its most melodic.

    Couple the simultaneously sparse and noisy production with the overall scant running time, and the album unfortunately fails to leave an impression, especially in an area of music that has become more and more saturated since the band's 2018 breakthrough.

    Often audacious, occasionally unpalatable. [Jun 2020, p.25]

    [Portuguese Brazil Review]
    Umas das melhores experiências musicais mais interessantes que já escutei, eu amo AS (Amnesia Scanner) - é agora um de meus aristas favoritos, o duo da Finlândia mistura a sensação de desconforto com um ritmo que te faz dançar. Mesmo que seja ao som estranho para alguém que não é acostumado com este tipo de estilo musical. É uma obra de arte underground.
