"Their tunes remain as sad as a burned-out house and as lonesome as a broke and crying drunk under a dim street lamp after closing time ... Their ability to offer an impression of a lyric line rather than the thing itself, as well as a series of minimal chord changes that stretch seemingly to infinity, is more pronounced than before. On Patchouli Blue, the band reinforce those traits, but they explore the intricacies of harmony with more emphasis, making this one of their most poetic, affecting albums yet".

"Bohren & der Club of Gore make doom jazz - or is it dark jazz? Either way, it's not terribly doomy or dark. Sure, they play at a glacial pace and surround themselves with signifiers of death and despair: skulls, corpses, devils, witches. But if you're expecting something like heavy metal, you'll be disappointed. There's no distortion and little dissonance here ... This is elegant, comforting, comfortable music, melancholy but never sad, best enjoyed with a glass of wine or on a midnight walk in the rain".

"Despite what the name Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - and the skull-adorned cover art of the German trio's 10th studio album (...) - might imply, the gorgeous cinematic music the band makes seems more fit to score film noir, dark romance or spy capers than slasher flicks. And though we've lumped the ensemble in under the "experimental" tag here, its fusion of jazz, ambient, metal and lounge music never has a note out of place ... But the instrumental group summons such vivid and varied moods on Patchouli Blue that each song feels like a chapter in a sonic epic".
