Mar 9, 2016Luneworks is not a lulling listen; rather, the album seems to turn restlessly with sonic insomnia, the songs tracing the arc of some sleepless passage like a night plagued by intense longing.
-
Mar 25, 2016It’s hard to single out a standalone track from this impressive debut and this, in itself, is testament to the LP on the whole.
-
Mar 9, 2016It’s a delicate, naked offering that flits between mournful vocals, processed backward synths and serrated edges of what sounds like guitar distortion.

Mar 9, 2016Significantly more experimental than Colleran's previous work, Luneworks also feels much more personal, and it continues to establish MMOTHS as a unique voice in the indie electronic scene.
-
Mar 21, 2016Although there is plenty that sounds of-the-moment we also get the sense that we’re drifting on a continuum between the future and the past.
-
Mar 9, 2016The back end of the record seems to lose everything that is so great about Luneworks and replace it with something even better: a discordant, throbbing pulse.

Q MagazineMar 16, 2016It can all be a bit hazy and formless, but when sweeping the sky for sounds on the ominous prog-drift of Body Studies or bathing in the light cast by Loveless on Deu, Colleran shows his skill at controlling the most nebulous sounds. [May 2016, p.112]

Mar 14, 2016Tracks such as Deu invoke a little Boards of Canada and Colleran likes to call Dubliner Kevin Shields an influence, making for a beatific album that’s more satisfying than just modish background texture.

Mar 9, 2016Luneworks works best when the Rhodes, laptop and ennui work in harmony, seemingly unguided, providing moments of pure blissed-out release.
