Sounds Like:
"From the Wall-era Pink Floyd-via-Edward Ruchalski opening, to its creased-velvet crackle and strum finish; Warm Climate’s Forced Spring For Rising Tide is the very definition of far-reaching."

Startling Moniker
"The duo strikes a nice balance between something approximating an accessible form of jazzy folk on one end and an avant-garde bent rooted in experimental sound and collage art on the other, incorporating significant elements of both worlds to create something far more mosaic-like than traditional folk / jazz, but still relatively accessible to open-minded listeners of those genres as well as collage / experimental devotees."

"This disc is a strange one, and of course it's Meant to Be Like That but I think it should be said anyway because it really did throw me (and is throwing me) a curve. Something else that should be said is that opening track "Sincerely, the Moon" has to absolutely be one of the worst anythings I've ever heard at all in recent memory. "
Outer Space Gamelan
"Seth has always been one of my favorite singers and
songwriters, since I very first heard his voice sing "Set it forth..." on a tape
I received in the mail after answering an ad in the Recycler. This album (Lame Park) pushes
(and elongates and makes staple art all over) the envelope. This is the most
extreme mutation yet from Warm Climate. Seth channels some of the darkest
characters I've ever heard bubble up from "in there." I'm not on this album so I
can say all these things objectively." Rune F.
