Jun 13, 2017In the same conceptual realm of Bjorks "Biophilia" ....this is undoubtedly a Sufjan Stevens release......broad in its scope.... and precise in its execution if a little overdone in parts....but as a whole I find much beauty here.

Aug 15, 2017This was a beautiful collaboration of four very intelligent musicians that knew how to combine their different backgrounds to work towards a common goal, having a nice detectable release and unhurriedness in their sound as their process unfolded, asking only for the listener’s unwavering patience. My Score: 148/180 (Great) = 8.2/10

Jun 28, 2017For the most part, the record warrants its own expansiveness as themes of self-doubt, isolation and faith slowly supernova among dazzling ambient instrumentals, careening string sections and Sufjan’s warped vocals that bring harmony, hope and futurism to the cold, dense expanse of space.
