    often esoteric and elusive, EXPO is also a warmly alluring art-rock declaration of determined intent. [Feb 2026, p.103]

    EXPO's bleak outlook is explored inventively, live and electronic elements expertly collaged from an unpredictable sonic palette. [Mar 2026, p.81]

    The band continues such a music building process on EXPO. This time around the balance Ulrika Spacek create is between electronic and traditional rock instrumentation while at the same time keeping the complexity of the music at the level that makes music have a natural flow.

    EXPO grooves, booms and unspools in ways all its own. [Mar 2026, p.37]

    EXPO never sounds fragmented. .... But at the core of the album’s sequencing lies a sense of formalism that, while surely freeing for a band with a penchant for taking risks, loses some emotional impact.

    EXPO can be like trying to hear through phantom barriers, but attentive listening is rewarded, and the project succeeds in reflecting a very contemporary fractured reality.

    ‘EXPO’ is not quite Charlie Brooker in song, but it’s not too far off. Fully immersive but a little disquieting.
