MagnetSep 19, 2013Vocally, Gordon is reborn, baptized in fire. [No. 102, p.53]

Sep 12, 2013One could argue that Body/Head aren’t doing anything necessarily new in the realm of noise, but it’s as vital a work in the genre as we’re going to hear this year.
-
The WireDec 10, 2013Even though there are no drums, nothing here ever feels aimless. [Sep 2013, p.48]
-
UncutSep 9, 2013Her songs don't so much drift as press steadfastly onwards into the unknown--all of them stick in your head despite little trace of a tune. [Oct 2013, p.63]
-
Sep 23, 2013This return to drone primitivism might seem somewhat regressive for Gordon, as it doesn't represent anything remotely new for her as a musician or for drone music as a whole. But it is done with a pleasing malevolence.

Oct 30, 2013Fans of Sonic Youth at their most experimental will know what to expect, anybody coming to this with fresh ears should try before they buy.
-
Sep 16, 2013There are no distinguishable hooks or chorus lines anywhere on Coming Apart; instead, it’s just Gordon and Nace simultaneously subverting and creating musical forms that will surely polarize listeners who want to “get it” and those who refuse to.
