Feb 3, 2016Grasque is never redundant. It is pop without cliches, and avant-garde without boredom. [Jan/Feb 2016, p.55]
-
MojoFeb 3, 20162012;s Rhine Gold album leant more on burbling electronica, while Grasque pushes further still, into slow R&B jams, chillwave, even George Michael when Makrigiannis uses his higher register. [Mar 2016, p.95]

Feb 23, 2016The songs amble through multiple genre divides, most pushing well past the three-minute pop mark. Good thing--it’s the contrasts where the pleasure lies.

Feb 8, 2016Grasque sometimes manages to make average pizza from excellent ingredients. When COYB are tenacious enough to boil a track down to a workable size, the result is a triumph. Often it can resemble unleavened music, stripped of the necessary rise and fall.

Mar 11, 2016A new chapter for the band perhaps, which may lead to some great results in the future. But whittle away the highlights and you realise Grasque perhaps works better as a great EP.

-
Jun 14, 2016The production has gotten bigger, slicker and more surgically clean, but the tunes haven’t.
-
Feb 26, 2016A record that struggles to catch fire.
-
Feb 16, 2016In fleeting moments Grasque offers glimpses into Makrigiannis’s inventive musical mind, but too often it gets stuck wandering up in the clouds.
-
Q MagazineFeb 3, 2016A collection of electronics-based tunes, drifting, gently paced but surprisingly torpid. [Mar 2016, p.108]
