about

"Soothing and mesmerizing."
-Aquarius Records

The ambient textures, though plush like a cloud, are charged with arcs of flanging electricity, invested now and again with blackened waves of rumbling from the low end, and stirred by simple, lurking shadow-cast melodies.
-Cyclic Defrost

"The duo's tendency to not constrain themselves and let the music develop unconventionally has given the album a mystical quality that draws you to it and drugs you into devoting your full attention to it."
-Silent Ballet


" The Martinez’s faded and ghostly music seems very much their own, especially when the the eight settings flow into one another so naturally.”
-Textura


"The duo captures emotions with a surreal juxtaposition of abandoned fragments. The album is made up of dying dusty microphones, acoustic attic guitars, kitchen drawer percussion, splattering water, scratched voices, and lost pieces of home."
-Headphone Commute
