"After several years digging into hushed oddities and esoteric songwriting systems, Ben Chasny resurfaces with his most immediate batch of songs yet".

"Thematically, Chasny's antennae remain tuned to matters both metaphysical and cosmic, covering concepts like panspermia and casting out lines like "I'd say the cosmos is in need of a friend." Frequently immersive and occasionally revelatory, Companion Rises feels utterly modernistic in its uneasy blend of earthy stability and distractive ambience, mirroring what for many is the normal mode of 21st century existence".
