Oct 22, 2013'All I Need’ and ‘Simulrec’ are highlights in what is a confident and mesmerising debut from Avery, one that deserves to go down as one of the best of 2013.
-
MojoOct 11, 2013With echoes of caribou, Chemical Brothers and Underworld also fluttering in the mix, Avery's is a compelling, club-friendly debut with crossover appeal to the headphone set. [Nov 2013, p.89]
-
Q MagazineOct 11, 2013Although the music is minimal, propulsive and built for clubs, Avery's formative years spent listening too rock and proto-electro lend the album a dynamic that suits headphone immersion. [Nov 2013, p.102]
-
UncutOct 8, 2013Impressively, in a nod to Avery's crowd-pleasing and circuit-bending skills, this is a techno album that seldom sags. [Nov 2013, p.65]
-
Oct 7, 2013It sits together as a cohesive body of work rather than a fragmented collection of club moments.
-
Oct 7, 2013The times have changed enough in the music world that Drone Logic won't get the same recognition and acclaim that albums by Underworld or the Chemical Brothers (or even Plastikman or Orbital) received 20 years previously, but it's every bit as good and expansively musical as anything from that era.
-
Oct 7, 2013It’s minimal without being clinical, catchy without being clichéd and, thanks to the influence of MBV and Neu!, full of sonic left turns.
-
Oct 7, 2013A nicely well-rounded debut album from an artist who's only been releasing music for a couple of years.
-
Oct 8, 2013Drone Logic is a fastidious and memorable debut, though the middle suffers from a significant lull in energy.
-
Oct 23, 2013You might find it too retro, or just not hip enough, but there is zero second-guessing on Avery's part: never does he glance over his shoulder with a nod to UK bass culture or a capitulate to a straight house track.
-
Oct 14, 2013Drone Logic has peaks that dwarf its troughs, though, making Avery’s brave debut worth buying for its four best tracks alone.
