    An immersive journey, to be sure, it’s one worth taking the time out for to experience in a single sitting.

    As Cavern of Anti-Matter embarks on a deep space voyage with the album's suite-like final third that culminates with the lovely "Phantom Melodies," they prove their music has an irresistible momentum, no matter how ambitious it gets.

    Hormone Lemonade is an endearing listen that focuses primarily on the here and now, and as a result messrs Gane, Dilworth and Zapf have every reason to be overtly satisfied at their latest creation.

    Cavern of Anti-Matter continue to rock, and Hormone Lemonade represents a fine addition to a steadily growing discography. A good set of headphones is recommended.

    This is a good collection of songs which progresses the narrative of the band and it deserves your attention, but I suspect these tracks work best in a live setting where they would be allowed to elevate above the often overly precise production on the album.

    There's no straining to distance themselves from their former band [Stereolab]. [Apr 2018, p.24]

    A winning melange of tinny disco beats, retro-futuristic textures and layers of synth, it’s by far their most cohesive work to date; in its less inspired moments it feels literally (and presumably intentionally) monotonous, but at its best it’s an immersive, absorbing listen.
