Dec 18, 2014At times sublime, at others sinister, the music captures the feel of an untamed landscape where natural beauty lurks within, and menace approaches.
-
Oct 30, 2014Flesh and Machine‘s live performances may belong to the night, but the sensations stirred through listening to the album will linger for far longer.

Nov 18, 2014It might seem like faint praise to call Flesh & Machine Lanois’ best and most realized solo album, but it’s also one of the best ambient records of 2014--an endlessly inventive collection of songs built on odd, often lurid sounds and textures, somehow rough and gentle at the same time.
