"All roads lead to the meditative and mesmerising closer 'Alabaster Skin'. A song written about the Belfast riots of 2021, Arborist is on record saying "the older, bitter generation stoking hatred in the young, only to realise that they are not of the same mentality, their minds have not been poisoned". It closes with the lines "Honey, I've been dreaming of an awful rage/In another body, in another language" beautifully wrapping the whole album up in loop bringing you back to the opening song. It's a cyclical element which shows how much care has gone into the making of Dead Zeros. It's that attention to detail which will encourage the listener to repeatedly return and also mark their cards to wherever Arborist travels to next".

"Outstanding Americana from Belfast singer-songwriter: After expanding his band to a five-piece for 2020's 'A Northern View', Arborist has again reverted to being essentially a solo vehicle for Mark McCambridge. This third LP is produced by Matthew E. White (Foxygen, Justin Vernon, Sharon Van Etten) at his Richmond, Virginia Spacebomb Studio with White's house band, creating an ensemble sound perfectly suited to Arborits's slightly lysergic vibe ... A brilliant exploration of just how inventive Americana can be".
