"Album of the Day... The Siberia-based band offer nine dark dance tracks that conjure spectral images of dive-y spaces filled with people who like their club music served with a good dose of melancholy.”

–Bandcamp Daily

"Album of the Month... Nine warm yet melancholic tracks evoking the best of 80s synth, post-punk, and darkwave."
–Post-Punk

"A wistful tune of jangled guitar-work and low-end rumble... It’s a colder wave of sounds fit for a band hailing from the southwestern section of Siberia off the banks of the Ob River."
–Vanyaland

"Cold post-punk influenced by groups such as Kino and Joy Division."
–Scene Point Blank

"Anthemic hooks paired with ironically detached vocals sung in Russian. And while being a dance floor friendly bop, the song is imbued with the sort of nostalgia and melancholy that makes it sound as though it could have been released during 4AD Records‘ heyday."
–Joy of Violent Movement
