    This record may well work as ambient escapism, but in its serene tenderness it’s also a reminder of the fragility of all that surrounds us.

    Tahoe is a record for after the fall, after the collapse, a compulsive soundtrack for an age that is both post-natural and post-virtual. [Mar 218, p.46]

    Tahoe is far from being simple, and is much more emotionally complex than the average ambient album.

    Tahoe is the kind of ambient album we've come to expect from Warmsley--mostly due to the fact that it's not your typical ambient album.

    If $ucessor is the finality of the final, then Tahoe is the beginning that begins. Tahoe is a voice that emerges after the rupture, the voice that creates itself anew, settling into itself as into a home.

    We never know what’s going to happen. Instead, we are merely left to wonder and observe.

    Tahoe only starts to perk up and run counter to expectations with “MMXIX,” an epic, nine-minute track that utilizes all manner of ambient tropes and then upends them.

    Dedekind Cut is playful and emotionally varied, allowing for moments of rapture and joyful release amid the brooding, quasi-industrial hum. This tips over into sentimentality on the rippling strings and splashing water FX of Tahoe's tittle track, but the album remains an intriguing hybrid of Arca's fleshy rumble and the KLF's Chill Out. [Mar 2018, p.25]
