    Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen pack a pummeling version of cultural vacancy, though they're a tad predictable. [Sep 2014, p.93]

    Departure is an ambitious and brave debut, one that reveals a lot of promise and an awfully big sound for just two players.

    Departure gets by on diverting--not mesmerizing--drone. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.106]

    This album can't be written off purely as a repetitive mess--this is the sound they were going for, after all, and when they rely less heavily on repetition, drones, and electronics, they find some decent material.
