Human Greed
PILGRIM: New World Homestead
Judas Kiss say... "Showcases Human Greed’s skill at producing and delivering wonderfully engulfing ambient-esque music of the very highest quality by showcasing a set of recordings what grows with each listen and entices the listener deeper and deeper into its compositions at the same time - a wonderfully absorbing listen."
Rough Trade say... "A drama of nervous exploration and discovery, there is wonder and dread in equal measure here: Part dream, part nightmare, Pilgrim’s hypnotic call inevitably lures the listener into treacherous waters before plunging them into fatal depths"
Elegy Iberica say... "Brutally stimulating the imagination towards anguish, fear and rage. This is an arduous, serious work."
BoomKat say... "Taking atmospheric, menacing ambience to heady new depths to create an atmosphere which could enswathe the grimmest of David Lynchs filmic output... if you harbour a dark spot for Coil or their contemporaries then you should definitely give Pilgrim a look."
Rock A Rolla say... This is night music, which ripples with your deepest and darkest doubts Human Greed have managed to conjure up a chilling collection of audio nightmares that calls the listener back again and again to discover more layers of sonic creepiness"
Trinta De Fevereiro say... "Serious and Overwhelming"
Human Greed
Consolation
"A Fear filled symphony of terrors... that gradually entwines your imagination in its numerous sonic tentacles and refuses to relinquish its grip."
Edwin Pouncey, The Wire
"...a dark delight full of Stygian soundscapes"
Mojo
"A master class in claustrophobic paranoia."
BarCode Magazine
"Secures a place for Human Greed in the echelons of melancholic experimentalism".
