    A conduit for sound at its most expressive potential, No Home of the Mind squeezes all it can from the five-person form into something warm and full and unprecedented.

    No Home of the Mind fits the bill as the best ambient record so far in 2017.

    The new album stays focused on wringing as much feeling as possible out of narrower terrain. And No Home of the Mind is the earthiest Bing & Ruth record yet. You can smell the sweat that went into it.

    No Home Of The Mind strikes a chord without uttering a word.

    Like Lubomry Melnyk's, Moore's rapid piano-playing creates an appealing haze on "Starwood Choker" and "Form Takes," while his companions augment this with similarly opaque washes of tape delay, spectral drones, bass and woodwind. [Mar 2017, p.25]

    Melancholy but not overbearingly so, No Home of the Mind is thoroughly entrancing, and another triumph for Bing & Ruth.

    Like an old church redesigned as luxury apartments, the album’s constant juxtaposition of chamber music and New Age minimalism can be forced and fatiguing. But its audaciousness is undisputable, never succumbing to the predictable.

    A deep listen. [Apr 2017, p.111]
