    You don’t so much listen to this album as dive into it, immerse yourself, let it flow past you.

    Admittedly, it may not furnish any musical diagrams of how to move from A to B, but in its own illogical way, it succeeds in submerging us deeper into A.

    K2O plays like an extended groove, and while the addition of guest percussionists makes it feel more like a band jam than a bedroom recording, the instrumentation never flares up enough to break the listener from a trance. Instead, the setting-sun artwork sums up the vibe for an album that Price himself elegantly describes as "fuzzy lullabies."

    While k2o might be a little more abstract than its predecessor, the tones and textures are more fleshed out this time around. [No. 102, p.57]

    If intimate, hand-crafted instrumental landscapes excite you, here's some k2o--drink up. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.102]

    A wonderfully mellifluous, atmospheric affair. [Nov 2013, p.94]
