UncutSep 18, 2015Sometimes, beats and basslines are distinct; other times, as on "Mysteries" and "Lighthouse," you just get a sense of them, as structure dissolving into mist. [Oct 2015, p.78]

Sep 24, 2015It's certainly still bleak as ever, but there's more hope than before.

Sep 18, 2015This is a seamless, and often glorious, album, one that showcases a profound peace and melancholia through a focus on ambient washes. Its lack of flourishes should, therefore, not be condemned but celebrated. Recommended.

Sep 18, 2015It's a pleasure to hear the trio working in this way, especially given the sonic common ground they share with Fennesz, and it's also the most energised I've heard the latter sound for a while. Nonetheless, the lack of friction between their respective musical aesthetics can't help but make me wonder how King Midas would sound in collaboration with another, less likely, fellow traveller.

Oct 7, 2015The results are indisputably unique, but the project often feels more like a collection of intriguing experiments than a proper album.
