"It's a mixed trip: spiralling, thrashy numbers like 'Stay' and 'Ader' are weighted against gloomier, sagging jams like the dark, boggy 'Moongee' and the Pink Floyd-lite 'Red Kite'. On the ghostly groove of 'Lone Wolf', the quartet veer into Warpaint-like waft. 'Heyoon' is better when dapples of texture break through - an electrifying outro on 'Solipsist'; earthy, bone-rattling bass on 'Red Electric Love Fern'. But mostly, 'Landshapes' sound like a band that might be a better prospect live, where their ever-shifting ideas can fully flourish".

"On Landshapes' sophomore album, Heyoon, the band goes full force into the strange and dark realms that nourish the bizarre, eccentric, and ominous. Sonically, Heyoon relies on jangling guitars, fuzzed-out bass, and heavy drums, all awash in atmospherics and feedback. It's hazy, psyche-rock with a kick. Lyrically, the songs are all over the map. But that's part of the point - to explore and immerse oneself into the strange, into your art, or any artistic endeavour for that matter".
