‘a darkly antagonistic blast of distorted synth, out of which emerges a colourful string section and the contrast is impressive. Just as memorable though is how the two complement one another, providing the album an intensely emotional finale.‘ – 8/10 Exclaim
‘a confident, assured slab of sorrow oozing in icy atmosphere.‘ – Echoes and Dust
‘albums like Staccato Signals are worthy of our time and money. Hope you pick this one up on vinyl. Highly recommended!‘ – Headphone Commute
