HVALUR3CD/LP

The strength of Ekvílibríum is in the organic way Sigurdsson weds the electronic to the human... The result is a singular album, as ornate as it is direct.

-The Fader Magazine

“...almost collapses under the power of its own trembling beauty... Valgeir Sigurðsson delivers his bonded masterpiece... prepare to be dazzled.”

-God’s In The TV

“an album for all connoisseurs of recorded sound, marrying exceptional electronic detail with real instrumentation on a grand scale.”

-Boomkat

HVALUR4CD/LP

"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing, singing in a fragile but certain tenor against the deep breath and soft sweep of Nico Muhly’s orchestrations."

-Rolling Stone Magazine

"Nothing less than a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piéce de résistance."

-CMJ New Music Monthly

“sky-scrapingly great ... All Is Well is viscerally stunning, comforting, upsetting, entrancing; as long as he can make art like this, Amidon can skip the formality of 'writing songs' forever”

-Stylus Magazine

HVALUR2CD/LP

"...The compositional complexity of Arvo Pärt and the sonic nothingness of Wolf Eyes...Yes, it is that good"

-Vice Magazine

Simply awesome... Frost reminds us that minimalism was never just the polished sheen of Reich and Glass, but also the sweat and grime of Michael Gira's Swans... Truly brutal... A deeper, darker minimalism- menacing and claustrophobic... This is Arvo Pärt as arranged by Trent Reznor... Magnificent

-WIRE Magazine

HVALUR1CD

“a highly evocative and beautiful album”

-Vital Weekly

“Muhly’s range is expansive- the relationship between the emotional seriousness of his music and it’s boundless sense of humor is complex and rewarding.”

-The Fader  Magazine

“...Muhly pieces achieve a cool balance between ancient and modern modes, between the life of the mind and the noise of the street.” 

-The New Yorker

HVALUR5CD

“the three extended sound collages here are radically different in conception but are lent unified coherence by the central role of the various singers, all deployed at the extremes of human vocal expression.”

- Uncut

“As accomplished as Muhly’s debut was, I wasn’t quite ready for him to unfurl the full length of his ambition in the way he does on Mothertongue.”

“Here, Muhly brings classic instrumentation, electronics and voices together into a piece of work which is at the forefront of contemporary classical music. Truly magnificent.”

- The Milk Factory
