"Nir Felder's sophomore album moves fluidly from meditative notes to explosive riffs with a forceful throughline of rock, blues and jazz. It is a natural culmination of the past decade for the guitarist, when he honed his craft by touring and collaborating with innovators across the musical spectrum ... II demonstrates a diverse lexicon of influences and technical acuity, but the trio is just scratching the surface. Felder has a follow-up - titled 2.1 - planned for this year, which should delve even deeper into the ideas explored here".
