    A 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.

    Intangible and atmospheric, but not a lot to latch on to.

    Grasque proves to be the group's most elusive outing to date, favoring icy, often formless melodies that come and go as they please, and existential lyrics that periodically dissolve into ghostly, wordless repetition.

    The results are suitably polishes, but their pleasures are ephemeral. [Mar 2016, p.71]

    The production has gotten bigger, slicker and more surgically clean, but the tunes haven’t.

    A record that struggles to catch fire.

    In fleeting moments Grasque offers glimpses into Makrigiannis’s inventive musical mind, but too often it gets stuck wandering up in the clouds.

    A collection of electronics-based tunes, drifting, gently paced but surprisingly torpid. [Mar 2016, p.108]
