"The sonic world of Junctions is luxurious, like a book whose first page you've just read and you know you're going to enjoy the rest of." - BBC.
"Dead Hollywood Stars is the highly appropriate alias of John Sellekaers, who crafts deeply nostalgic, haunting compositions from a hybrid of keyboards, sampling, and traditional instrumentation. [...] Each track here is a compact evocation of style and stark beauty, an imageless movie." - Grooves Magazine.
"Crunchy beats, strains of ghostly americana a la Bill Frisell and dustbowl John Fahey styles mesh almost seamlessly with electronic treatments." - Baked Good Newsletter.
"The West continues to haunt us, twisting in our psyche, and Sellekaers' Dead Hollywood Stars continues to provide the soundtrack for our spectral dreaming." - Igloo Magazine.
"Guitarist Quentin de Hemptinne plays his instrument in a long gone western style meanwhile drummer Alex Grousset keeps the rhythmic texture on the album at a cool and relaxed pace. The overall expression comes out as a blend of authentic Americana meeting chilling ambient. [...] A quite unusual experience from the ambient side of electronic music." - Vital Weekly.
