    Genres fall by the wayside as krautrock melts into a studied and dense electronica, and pulls either towards the tenseness of post-punk or the hazy surrealism of shoegaze.

    Hold/Still conjures up the existential mood of floating in deep space. Lonely--but also out of this world.

    There are areas, in the likes of Instrument, where the creeping grooves are compelling and the tension is perfectly poised, but time and time again these moments are lost amongst reverb bursts and toxic swells that go past the point of creating a metronomic cue to something sinister, and instead appear vexatious in their oppression.

    Hold/Still tries so hard to be ominous that it almost always forgets to be interesting. [No. 130, p.61]

    Too many of the remaining songs sound more like sketches than fully realised songs. [May 2016, p.116]
