    Anjou’s transition from post-rock to power ambient now complete, Epithymía sees these musicians extrapolate into new directions masterfully, squeezing out a mesmeric minor masterpiece in the process. [Mar 2017, p.45]

    Anjou have crafted a transcendent and moving ambient record, invoking not just the cosmos but also the human subjective experience of the universe’s strange and forbidding beauty.

    Epithymía is uneasy and sometimes painful, but it beautifully conveys dark, heavy emotions and is well worth the time.

    They've abandoned songs entirely in favor of pulsing, predominately electronic pieces that radiate a warmth that contrasts dramatically with Labradford's chilly austerity. [No. 141, p53]
