    An immensely satisfying album which repays multiple listens. [Jun 2025, p.53]

    Lowering and exquisitely lucid opener "The Returning Angel" is worlds away from the subtle six-string abstraction and percussive pizzazz od "The Bag" - typical of the record's range. [May 2025, p.28]

    This is a new band, but it already sounds primed for the long haul. [May 2025, p.90]

    Even when working in tried-and-true genres, he always pulls something fascinating out of his hat. With Consentrik Quartet, he’s joined by similarly forward-thinking musicians who can bring these intriguing ideas to light.

    Bursting with ideas and near symbiotic ensemble play, Cline's Consentrik Quartet is a bracing statement by this wonderful group and a future-forward approach to jazz.

    An unusually provocative piece of work.

    No distinct group voice emerges from these 12 tracks, no clear sense of where they hope to head now. But there are enough revelatory moments, both solo and shared, that this lack only suggests itself once the album is done, when its pleasures have finished unspooling.
