The Irish Times
Perhaps it will be seen as a turning point in years to come, because on Cosmic Logic they’ve taken a scalpel to their sound

Instead of dropping their uniquely dream-like sound for a more accessible presentation, Peaking Lights simply push for greater clarity and articulation on Cosmic Logic

Structure - whether forced or otherwise - and the sheer introduction of cutting off points lends the tracks on ‘Cosmic Logic’ an urgency

Loud And Quiet
Seems to pay less attention to subtlety and nuance than both ‘Lucifer’ and breakthrough ‘936’ did, instead prioritising a bolder sound over plain old complexit

Peaking Lights stays the course in terms of sound, but the songs themselves are less sprawling and spontaneous than on their last two records

Consequence Of Sound

It would be nice to be able to let an album like this simply wash over you, rather than be forced to pan for gold in its still, murky waters
