    The album is a true meeting of mood, melody, and sound that any of the bands Death and Vanilla so clearly take inspiration from would be proud to call one of theirs.

    This is a well-crafted album that manages to reach some rare sonic ground save for a few missteps. The band works best when it is allowed to let the songs build and layer over one another.

    The band's fondness for over-long outros means that it occasionally drifts, where a tighter edit would have made it soar. But for the most part this is an entrancing album of spectral lullabies.

    The duo's third add little to territory explored by Broadcast and Sterolab, but there is still an alluring soft-porn sexiness to avant-Kraut Moog-pop excursions. [Jun 2015, p.75]

    As a whole, To Where The Wild Things Are is very much a headphones-record, as its richest details can only be absorbed with closer-than-close listening.

    Death And Vanilla lack only a little warmth to make submersion in their pre-digital pool irresistible. [Jun 2015, p.92]

    To Where the Wild Things Are proposes an interesting if familiar journey, but the kitschy, “poppier” first half feels oddly lifeless.
