Oct 8, 2012It might be Tussle's most subdued music to date, but it works equally well as a hypnotic wash of sound and as riveting close listening, especially late at night.
-
Oct 8, 2012The band now has the command of this organic/synthetic versatility in its toolbelt, often using it to find an ideal balance between highly finessed electronic soundscapes and bouts of raw, physical musicianship.
-
Oct 16, 2012The album benefits from its fluid, improvisatory feel, not quantized to death like so much electronic music these days.

UncutOct 8, 2012Tempest explores electro-dub and Four Tet-like glitch. [Oct 2012, p.87]

Oct 8, 2012This new direction from Tussle will disappoint some older fans, but it's going to reel in plenty of new ones. Time and patience are both required, but this album is worth plenty of both.

Oct 8, 2012Unfortunately the album as a whole, modulo a few bright sections, fails to come to life.
