"Chilean duo the Holydrug Couple pull listeners into a trippy world of their own making on Noctuary. Recorded at the band's home studio, the album exudes a sense of hominess and comfort, making the sonic journey contained within more of a relaxing mediation than a mind-expanding explosion. Despite its drifting nature, one of the more striking things about Noctuary is how concise the album it is. Coming in at just about 40 minutes, it doesn't really waste a lot of time on unnecessary indulgences, jumping straight to the point whenever possible without a whole lot of fuss".

"Vurdering: C-" - "Noctuary can languish too long in its dreaminess, caught in its own web of living in the idyllic past. The album is full of gentle waves, and as such, the peaks tend to stand out, but the formula becomes apparent after enough iterations. The right listen can mean floating off into a spacey wonderland where a mellow sun shines sepia, but it could just as easily lead to a background airiness".
