 | Zykancialuu - Rekalix
'A sublime and amazing work of art. This is genre-less and orchestrated, juxtaposing both regimented, yet purposefully messy ideas into music so amazing it is almost impossible to try and sum it up with any number of descriptive and illustrated words' |
 | For What? - Carolines Capuchin
'There is so much to absorb on this record. A plethora of engaging hooks, usually from the piano, all underpinned by some incredible drum and bass grooves and a whole host of additional percussive, dance rhythms. Almost silent moments of meandering subtlety give way to huge, purposefully driven and bombastic bass-heavy grooves...Often teetering on the edge, the band still has the foresight and discipline to know when to hold back from becoming just another noisy mess of finite musical elitism.' |
 | Energy Czar - Hunting Lodge
'When I listen to Hunting Lodge it stimulates parts of the brain perhaps we don’t want to admit to. It touches on the ‘dark side’, but don’t be alarmed, this is not Satanism at its most evil, nor is it anything to do with Star Wars for that matter' |
 | My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go - Aereogramme
'Cinematic' is a term seldom used when it comes to music. But the scope and visionary demands of Aereogramme's new release not only requires such a description; it owns it.' |
 | Open Up Sky - The Vale
'they would be perfectly suited as the Stonehenge house band!' |

Hackpen Records ALBUM REVIEWS - Bonemachine + A+E Line
'Each and every track on this album is a much darker and angrier affair than anything on ‘Vent’, but ironically, it is this dark-forbidding presence that looms throughout which makes this an even more essential opus.' | Black Gold - King Biscuit Time
'Throughout its entirety, the album is a hypnotic fusion of country-tinged trip-hop, acoustic folk and lush electro/acoustic ambience, a testament to the imagination of the creator. What it lacks in direct accessibility it more than compensates for with a playful and effortless eclecticism, and a richness that rewards the listener with new layers and emotion each and every time' | Mr Beast - Mogwai
'?Mr Beast? is Mogwai?s fifth studio album and is definitely their most mature release to date. It sees Mogwai round-off the edges and polish their frazzled sounds. Whether this is a good thing or not is another matter..' | This Is Your Destination - Circus Act
'The Southampton three-piece have stumped up a well-realised album here ? it?s loud, proud and un-apologetic, all the while delivering an established direction that?s potent with promise' | Fear Today, Gone Tomorrow - Moonshot
'Having yawned my way through ?Fear Today, Gone Tomorrow?, I realised that I couldn?t remember a single thing about it' |
