"Propelled by Valentina Magaletti's masterful drumming and assisted by collaborators like Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier, the London group ventures further into its utopian parallel universe ... More willing than ever to flex their jazz chops, the Vanishing Twin of Ookii Gekkou sound best when settling in for the long haul, exploring the nooks and crannies of their pluralist fantasia with a microscopic attention to detail".

"Though it's sometimes a more subdued album than either The Age of Immunology or Choose Your Own Adventure, it's just as magical. There's a sense of transformation in Ookii Gekkou's swirling mix of funk, jazz, orchestral pop, psychedelia, and electronics that ensures Vanishing Twin's version of pandemic life doesn't sound like anyone else's ... The band saves some of the album's prime examples of their interstellar pop for last, and the mind-bending motorik of "Tub Erupt" and the sweet android love song "Light Vessel" will scratch the itch of Broadcast and Stereolab fans craving music that's just as transporting and inventive as the work of those bands was. Perfect listening for solitude, Ookii Gekkou discovers strange beauty within the mundane - and once again demonstrates that Vanishing Twin's imagination is boundless, even when the world only extends as far as the walls around them".

"Though the album very occasionally loses its way, getting mired in space-age jazz stylings, it is undoubtedly a superb album that greatly expands on the classic Vanishing Twin sound and mixes it with a sense of experimentation that only occasionally fumbles. This is an album where you can hear a group discovering things as they go and it's wonderful".
