  1. 8.0 |   State

    This album is borderline orchestral in style and at times is akin to Sigur Ros
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Spin

    Stripping down the beats of these 18 tracks, the producer conjures a dream-folk ambience

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Strange and impenetrable though it can be, this is Prefuse 73 at his most compelling – an exemplary snapshot of modern psychedelia

  4. 8.0 |   AU Review

    Deeply strange and altogether different. In a good way
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    An immersive blend of the symphonic and electronic. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    More symphonic in structure than Herren's previous work. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Bowlegs

    This stands as one of his finest hours

  8. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    The instrumentation—whether played, programmed, or sampled; a little of each typically goes into Prefuse 73’s recordings—is given room to stretch its limbs

  9. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A gauzy pleasure to get lost in as Herren ventures deeper into his personal sonic paint-pot

  10. 7.0 |   The Fly

    Yes it’s a challenging listen, but Herren’s eighth album is, as always, an intriguing invitation to explore a world of musical hybrids

  11. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    It's dense and impressive production work, but not as listenable as Herren at his best

  12. 6.0 |   Q

    Somewhere between the ghostly dancefloor sway of Fever Ray and modern classical composition. Print edition only

  13. 5.0 |   Clash

    A good third of the album meanders and there’s a drab formlessness to his sonic fog. Fascinating but flawed

  14. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    The entirety of the exercise is so laborious and ponderous that you have to wonder if this concept would have been better served as a highly pruned EP
