EP REVIEWS
“Meniscus have come up with a winner: a staggeringly confident and
competent debut release that shows a sort of compositional maturity
that many bands on their fifth release would strive to achieve.
Beautifully crafted and impeccably conceived, this had better be a sign
of what’s yet to come.†-The Silent Ballet
"Utilising the standard three-piece bass/drums/guitar format and all manner of processors to manipulate those basic sounds into a seemingly inexhaustible spectrum of possibilities, the purely instrumental Meniscus takes us back to the kind of languorous sonic territory the psychedelic/progressive rock acts of the early '70s like Pink floyd, Tangerine Dream and King crimson were exploring in the UK, and Essendon Airport (Melbourne) and SPK (Sydney) were rediscovering in the early '80s. Evocative, Provocative, there are no compromises across the 45-minutes of these four/five songs."
- The Drum Media
"Meniscus' debut EP is a mesmerizing mixture of post-rock and post-metal, completely instrumental but never boring. Somewhat alike in style to The Pax Cecilia and Junius, these guys sound very promising."
- Spiral Circus
"Great music pops up in all corners of the globe, and Meniscus is testament to that fact. .. Not many people may know who Meniscus is right now, but if this is an indication of what’s to come from the group, that will change very quickly."
