    The instrumentation fits perfectly with the otherworldly, thoroughly non-jazz sounds of Toral’s guitar pedal wizardry, and the absence of an expected dissonance between the two feels strangely hypnotic.

    Stripped ac and stretched out, in Toral's hands these pieces become devotional as he zones in in on their essence. [Dec 2025, p.37]

    Frequently gorgeous collection of slow-motion jazz standards. [Feb 2026, p.87]

    While these melodies often feel familiar, Toral puts a mysterious spin on them, warping them enough to make them feel otherworldly. His instrument wavers; his drones have a sparkling, celestial sheen. In the process, the poignant songs start to feel less like themselves and more like a dream.
