"The album acts as an effective metaphor for a world in which the forces of commercialism make the individual look inwards, and create private strategies for survival. Just as Bernholz did when she conceived her artistic approach. This album, with its pristine interiors, captures the intimacy of her trauma perfectly. It's as immaculate as a hotel in a JG Ballard novel, and just as bloody scary".

"Unflesh is a surprisingly danceable record amidst all the dark beats, and this is thanks to the process Bernholz undertook whilst writing the record. After releasing debut The Entire City, Bernholz approached the follow-up with live performance as a key driver. This approach has resulted in an incredibly physical record (both tonally and lyrically) with a greater focus on percussion. Huge industrial beats characterise many of the songs on the record, casting an antagonistic, almost oppressive tone. The title track utilises a distorted, militaristic stomp under an abrasive, buzzing synth, whilst 'GUTS' and 'Still Life' seem to sample the clang of machinery".

"I noget, der synes at ligge i lige linje fra industrial-pionererne Throbbing Gristles tidlige udforskninger af maskinen som militant manipulator, undersøger hun med truende beats og skingre vokaler kroppen som et dunkelt bæst, man tilfældigvis bor i. Teksterne flyder over med personlige oplevelser med cutting, selvmordsforsøg, angst, panikanfald ... Gazelle Twin er en vokal skifting og kan minde om både Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson, Angel Deeradorian og Karin Dreijer/ Fever Ray. Og Un-flesh er et fascinerende, insisterende bekendtskab".
