    It should not be much of a surprise for WITTR to come out with a pure ambient album. In their previous releases, they create a lot of ambiance in their post-rock moments. This album is similar to those moments, but utilizes more synth and stretches them out to full album length. It's a very gorgeous album. Creates a good reading atmosphere and especially a great album to stargaze with.It should not be much of a surprise for WITTR to come out with a pure ambient album.

    Far more than background music, this is a reasonably static, and yet moving, listen.

    There are absolutely stunning passages on here to be sure, but as a whole the record fails to really take your breath away like one would hope.

    What's most impressive is the sense of personal innovation, and WITTR's willingness to follow their vision wherever it may roam. [12 Jul 2015, p.54]
