Review Excerpts of lacunae's album "collapse"

"Their previous album was stunning and impressive. I was very much looking forward to their new album. And now it’s here. Collapse is the next step. And again, stunning and impressive. ... When listening to this album, it occurs to me that Lacunae could well be the next Massive Attack."

Stefan Koopmanschap,

"Their Collapse CD (current resident music crm003) is an atmospheric blend of glitchy electro and the breathy ethereal voice of Ms Searles. The beats are cold, cut short and tight with nods towards Matmos, Coil circa Loves Secret Domain, or even Kraftwerk at their most bleepy. There is something of Portishead's or Tricky's heady grooviness, but thankfully, less of the hashish. For example, it really sounds great in my car (where it has been looping for nigh on a month now)."

"...fantastically musical and damned catchy, I'm hooked!"

"There's a lot of darkness in the record: twisted soundscapes, distant radio transmissions, lost highways. But it's the light, found in Kasten Searles' sweet vocals, that makes Collapse something special. Twisted, manipulation soundscapes that go for the head via the heart..."
Anton S. Trees

"Collapse" is different. It has bite. It has clarity. It has that fullness that I also like in any production. "Collapse" is good for those looking for that great driving album. Something to reach for when you don't want dark, mid 1980's industrial OR the headspinningly neat numerous choices from the unfortunately named "IDM" category. I love Lacunae. I've never been so proud to know or listen to this group of talented upstarts. Listening to them now on Last.Fm, there's no stopping them now. I only wonder what would happen if they began work in person...

Review excerpts from lacunae's album "love me "

"I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t think that these guys were at least worth a little of your time. And believe you me, they’re worth more. Love Me gets more and more interesting the more I listen to it..."
Andrew Miller, Submission Magazine

"I sense songs of broken heartedness and dark loneliness that we can all relate to at some time or another. The feeling of not wanting to continue but knowing you must. This inclination may come to mind when listening to the tales within but I do recommend you keep listening! You’ll be very happy you did as this work gets more enthralling and emotional with each track."
K.Cornelius, MODSQUARE

"A solid album with spacey atmospheres which give themselves to a modulated reception of placid waves, a mark of rarefied contemporaneity."*
Aurelio Cianciotta, Neural

"A beautiful, very solid album, that will appeal a lot of people who like downtempo melodic electronica."
Stefan Koopmanschap, Electronic Music World

"This one is worth the inspection for anyone who has spent time in search of something that will give a crisp, cold chill to your mood and keep you in tune and moving with the world outside your window. "
Patrick Millard, Electric Brainwaves

"Lacunae does not focus of VST plugin pyrotechnics or tweaked out skittery beat mayhem . Love Me's strength is in the layering of treated vocals counterpoint the ebb and flow of melancholic synth lines."
Derek Morton, Mikroknytes
