Influences: An amalgam of improvisation and careful composition, melody and noise, structure and abandon, One Umbrella blurs the line between the familiar and the
abstract.
Sounds Like: "It's actually hard to imagine that instruments were even used to craft something this otherwordly and majestic... I'm surprised everyone isn't talking about their lush, constanly shifting approach to creating honest feelings through sound." -Owen McLean, Delusions of Adequacy
"Without question, this is the most ambitious album I've heard this year." -Darren Susin, cdreviews.com
"[Solve] pushes back a tiny set of barriers over a very constricted period of time... However, it’s on the longer tracks, such as the constantly evolving OIOI and the mournful Eintrocinc, that they really take the time to show what they can do." -Ken Hollings, The Wire
"“Solveâ€, while only 25 minutes in length, is by all accounts an incredible opus... Truly this album is a spectacle for us all to behold." -J-Sin, Smother.net
