"escape to low-tempo, dirge-folk meets post-rock pastures"

"the sweet, creatively Auto-Tuned vocals are wrapped up in all sorts of compositional kookiness, splattered with psychedelic snippets, coated with sonic swirls, and shaken by compositional tremors"

"whilst the hazy, pleasantly woozy acoustic setting suggests you too should choose an alternative path."

"this time he’s soared off to art rock meets far-out pop meets acid-folk via tripped-out electroacoustic jazz fusion territory"

"This is alternative pop, scowling alt-rock and band powered singer-songwriting with attitude"

"another genre-ambiguous gem that I'm filing under perky, pan-African powered alt-pop"

"Desmet attempts to keep sane by calmly repeating the song title like a mantra, but is enveloped by the orchestra's existential angst."

"it's in the easy listening section, just lightly opiated, quietly stoned and possibly parallel dimensional."

"a flickering, broken fluorescent tube lit, heavily stoned reflection on our digital dystopian present, and the trials of trying to keep your head together in this modern shit show that promises so much, but rarely delivers."

a warmly lit, jazz folk pathway towards the clear and true musings on the nature of time and connection

"paving the way for some suitably languid drums and the arrival of Hasselgren's fragile, low gravity, achingly beautiful vocals"

"a mighty fine, mildly theatrical, shadowy slice of lysergic alt-pop rock with genuine craft"

"Trip Hop didn't die it just moved with the times and Darkstate is currently leading the way."

"Starting off in an ambient pop vein, her vocal floats enticingly over bowed strings and machine sounds"

"It's a fine and fanciful slice of lysergic alt-pop"

So it was with trepidation that I clicked play on these versions of two Talking Head's classics - "Once In A Lifetime" and "Psycho Killer"

"Familiens Muligheder is a beautifully crafted, constantly surprising album that deserves far more attention than it's currently receiving."

"The album wears its Dr. Martin's, tight black jeans and leather jacket proudly, and shoegaze, post rock and gothic dirge weave through much of the album"

"the increasingly psychedelic sounds, and probably a few pheromone's, swirling around the room"

"there's an uncompromising tone and serious intent to the soft edged delivery and you suspect you're going to be in for a treat, confirmed by the downtempo, post punkish dub bassline"

"balances Dalt’s stubborn experimentalism with a more accessible pop sheen, but ultimately it’s a triumph for perseverance and time honing her studio and song craft"

"A lo-fi pop haze of field recordings, ambient electronics and a low key moody guitar motif gets the track rolling, setting a suitably opiated vibe for Lindh's hushed vocals"

"worked on stripping down the sound without sacrificing the message or artistic vision, and only gone and made a genuine alt-pop album"

"Lovely all-rounder album on a mellow, lo-fi, slacker-balearic tip."
