"It’s a singular slice of intimate, ambient pop meets singer songwriter craft"

"The album starts in fine ambient fashion, easy drones rising and falling like a summer tide as waves of static fold into the swell"

"a boundary nudging ambient jazz transmission that refreshingly doesn't sound like too much else around"

"it always amazes me how such cohesive arrangements can be collaged from such shattered sonics"

"There’s the shimmering transcendence of “Lost to Follow”, the Cafe del Mar like mantric looping and politely insistent guitar motifs on “Collapsing the Vanguard"

the track has been reincarnated and is having a more serene existence this time round, and when it sounds this nice that's OK.

"a simple yet supremely satisfying bed of low frequency adjacent drones, sound elongations & minor sonic detailing that radiates a low lit warmth"

"late night, big city tower block electronica drenched in pleasing distortion and static, coupled with a flickering fluorescent lit ambience"

"an admirable attempt to map the gentler paths that snake through the ambient, new age and modern classical multiverses"

"The playing is pleasingly minimal and melodically ambiguous, always stopping just short of tired old tropes or overly familiar progressions"

Alyas is an ambient hobbiest from Sweden, and for a part-timer he's been transmitting an impressive stream of calming etherealism for an...

"inspired by mid-1980s Japanese new age and ambient music, otherwise known as kankyō ongaku (environmental music), and less directly by vintage Italian experimental music"

a gentle, graceful and ever so lovely ambient neoclassical arrangement that should be on every introvert's contemplation playlist.

"It’s a painstakingly constructed soundscape with a childlike playfullness to it and a soothing method to its minutai laden madness"

"Kouhei naturally uses a more acoustic, percussive sound palette of mini-rattles, quick shakes and one hit wonders, the compositions are equally as far-out"

"The album is a collaborative triumph that blurs the lines between song and soundscape, and might even be that rare thing, an ambient project that looks, as well as sounds good on a stage."

" the album fittingly weaves its way along dusty, rosemary strewn, electroacoustic Andalusian paths, planting the seed of a new genre that we can only hope germinates in the region’s sun baked landscape. "

"Lilyg's vocal which immediately weaves its way through the soundscape, gently swirling the ambient electronica in its tailwinds"

"despite my natural inclination towards the nonabrasive, palliative end of the ambient spectrum this is something of a Thai massage, a mildly unsettling but ultimately relaxing affair, and I like it a lot."

"They kick things off with the shimmering, lower frequency quivering, field recording hinting, gently cascading tones of the well named, "404 Error Page Not Found" - something I'm sure we can all relate to"

"The new album sees these studio neighbours embarking on another ethereal voyage of discovery to the land where ambient, new age, minimalism and classical meet"

"Languid percussion provides an unhurried tempo for this ambient voyage of exploration as toad licked guitar refrains guide these cosmic musketeers to higher plains"

!This album is perfect start of the day music, just as well really as I’m writing about it at 5.45am."

whilst the dust is still settling on his album he's off on another trip with his sights set firmly on a galaxy far, far away, this is the stuff of Sci-Fi soundtrack dreams.
