Mar 9, 2016The Catastrophist is an odd record--an album that was probably more interesting to perform than to listen to.
-
Q MagazineJan 11, 2016The lack of uptightness suits them. [Feb 2016, p.118]
-
Jan 11, 2016Too often, The Catastrophist leaves its themes in the lurch, spinning its wheels when it should be charging forward.

Feb 23, 2016It certainly avoids the epic-lite quality we usually associate with bands in the post-rock mold. There’s no soundtrack material here: nothing to be exploited for the purposes of perfume advertisement erotica or inspiring nature documentaries.
-
The WireFeb 18, 2016The song ["Yonder Blue"] is as intricately tied into pop and soundtrack tradition as the rest of the album, but it carries an immediacy that otherwise eludes The Catastrophist. [Jan 2016, p.72]

Jan 22, 2016Sadly, what should have been a triumphant return ends up being as forgettable as the time of year of its release. It’s a middling album birthed in a middling, gloomy time of year without much joy to offer. Not even a proper chuckle.
