renfro - 'Mathematics' (album) CD + Digital
Japan: 16 June 08
Worldwide: 6 October 2008
"Masterpiece...album of the month" ( Inpartmaint.com )
"Magical, incredibly subtle and emotional. A tender, haunting album 'Mathematics' bubbles and blossoms with soaring melodies and delicate samples" ( Subba-Cultcha.com )
"Brilliant and original songs. One might compare them to a sample–rich merger of Low and Portishead, but that would not do justice to the distinctive sound that renfro have created for themselves." ( YME.COM )
“Immensely rewarding, enchanting glacial glitch pop. Bursting with sublime soul-searching vocals, brimming with feeling and lashings of warm melancholia, produced masterfully. Definitely an Album Of The Week!†( Norman Records )
“Poetic and hopeful, renfro have expanded the possibilities for the future of their work and the genre as a whole. A band with a heart as well as courage. This is an emotional and emotionally daring record" ( Foxy Digitalis )
"A subtle and beautiful album... folk music re-imagined to suit the glow of an LCD screen rather than a campfire. 'Mathematics' is consistently good right across its 55 minutes" ( Cyclic Defrost Magazine )
"Thoroughly beguiling material. The listener will be transfixed by their swooning melodies and lighter-than-air vocal masses. (The) songs are so lovely, they call to mind nothing less than Morr Music's Slowdive tribute "Blue Skied An' Clear"" ( Textura )
"Should stake Renfro’s place atop the lofty mountains of avant-garde electronic pop without a doubt." ( Earz Magazine )
"Comparable to the more subtle elements used on Thom Yorke’s solo release, 'The Eraser', innovative, serene electronic music that explores the poetic."
( Exclaim! Magazine )
"Sweetly beguiling yet hurting and distant. Arrestingly fragile....is going to break a fair few hearts once it escapes on to the more clued up hi-fi’s of the record buying community†( Losing Today - The Indie Music Magazine )
