Jun 14, 2019Pale Bloom, like all of Davachi's work, has a transportive, mystical quality. It could be so easy for the composer to recede into the endless abyss of staid ambient music, but this album proves that she has little interest in doing so. The more she continues to challenge herself and her audience, the more rewarding her work becomes.

Jun 11, 2019Pale Bloom might be alienating to ambient fans who aren't familiar with how classical music works and would prefer appreciation not stand in the way of simple pleasure. It's easy to enjoy, a little harder to lose yourself in.
