A few In Gumbo album Review liners:
"Cinematic, immersive synth disco that sounds like a million dollars... could be this season´s House Of Jealous Lovers, for the new italo youth"
(Vice magazine, UK) 8/10
"An adventurous, dark and moody record with plenty of sophisticated and welldeveloped ideas"
(Future Music / UK)
"Maybe it´s this combination of organic Lindstrøm sounds, DFA playfullness and Get Physical club approach that I'm totally celebrating this record. I already knew that Kasper's a great DJ... now I'm happy to have found out he's a fantastic producer as well.
(Lodown Magazine / GER) 9/10
"Filled with epic tracks and huge mixes, it is quite clear why this artist is famed throughout the world."
(BPM Magazine / US)
"Highly recommended for no wave and punk funk lovers"
Pardon my Freedom (US)
"A truly complete album with depth and character".
(Palms Out Sounds, US)
"Dont miss this one!"
(Vs. magazine, DK) 8/10
