Generally speaking I like anything Mike Vennart is a part of. I don't listen to this as often as the Vennart albums, but I still recommend it to Oceansize fans. berobbi
And life goes on, as Mike & Richard continue to carry OCEANSIZE's spirit on. Can't avoid the reference on a brilliant past! But, here is something fresh and still alive. Magnificent tunes dress this debut! Long Live British Theatre fataldiz
I remember in my childhood near a village there was a place full of dead trees, red and dead from all the chemicals that were dumped into the nearby bay from the chemical plant. That's exactly the vibes I get from this effort, similar in story or not. Morbid! But hopefully a wake up call for some as well. Aleksei Tepljakov

Seattle band somesurprises return with lofty, pretty dream pop that recalls the dissonant beauty of Broadcast, Grouper, and MBV. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2024
So, the tags given by the band are acoustic, ambient and electronic, which might seem a strange mix, but describes this album quite well! These Mancunians really have their own sound which is quite an achievement. I think, we can call the music proggy, but in the best sense of the word, not copying other artists/styles but creating something new! Carsten Pieper
