  1. Q Magazine

    A work very much bigger than the sum of its parts. [Feb 2020, p.108]
  2. The Wire
    Dec 9, 2019

    London based trio The Comet Is Coming unleash their finest yet, letting rave electronics, jazz funk and a dancefloor directed low end meet and mingle and mash, again suffusing everything with a positivist but markedly apocalyptic mysticism. [Jan 2020, p.71]
  3. The Observer (UK)
    Dec 9, 2019

    The trio remain in a tradition of avant gardists such as Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane and Can, but totally of the now. One of 2019’s best.
