Sounds Like: "....songs to take you far beyond the atmosphere...
OFF HER ROCKER
"....there's a strong influence of Ian Brown to be heard here, but with some occasional swathes of light guitar fuzz over the background, comparisons with early Verve material are well fitting too. A few easy comparisons so, but there's more behind CascadeSounds than just replicating what has gone before....."
...in both 'My Final Sleep' and 'Chroma Key', some inspired song writing lifts the material well above the norm. In particular, 'Chroma Key' is quite exceptional...
FREQUENCY IRELAND
"....hypnotizing melody...."
FUTURE MUSIC ISSUE 184
"....fucking cool songs...."
KRAMER
"The debut EP from CascadeSounds has all the riches of the coming of a great band...with it's sleak acoustic undertrack feel and floating keys you nearly want to be elevated to the next level, excellent sounds from this four piece Dublin act..
