REVIEWS
“…awe inspiring efforts, a real treasure…” – Smacked Zine
“…for a debut release, this shows immense promise” – Time Is Money
"...As this is only Roncatto Braathen's 2nd release, "Victory Advancement" shows a young band willing to experiment. The M83 influenced "Oh Captain, My Captain" hints at real potential... the "Victory Advancement" ep is well worth investigating." - Boring Machine Disturbs Sleep
"...This is the moment where Roncatto Braathen show that they aren't all wires, bolts and circuits and that human flesh -- maybe even a heart -- drives this band." - The Silent Ballet
"...Their sounds, have engendered the atmosphere of Do Make Say Think, Explosions In The Sky, M83 and Hammock." - Friends Of Mine (Japan)
"...Including rumbling drones, delicate strings, and some scratchy discordant moments, the whole album is a soundtrack to a lonely walk through the mountains, the cities lights visible far away on the plains below, and sound seriously good when played through the headphones. If this is post rock, I like it, I just hope others can match the standards set by this superb album..." - Terrascope Online zine
"...an inventive, moving and excellent EP with just two band members, making 'Victory Advancement' a great example of the benefits of post-rock downsizing." - Leonard's Lair
