"Yet another '90s micro-genre gets the hipster revival treatment on Montreal duo Solar Year's snazzy debut. New Age-y electronica is reworked as a thing of synthetic sterility in a deliberate affront to the genre's earthily ethno-wanky inventors (stinky '90s techno-hippies) and Ben Borden and David Ertel ditch any inspiring mantras in favour of less comforting sounds".

"Solar Year manage to take traditional choral music and refract it through a modern prism. It seems at once on the pulse of the zeitgiest, yet at the same time strangely timeless. The lush production creates an atmosphere of sustained reverie, which envelops a listener in a warm yet visceral way. And despite its often nocturnal feel, I find the album an uplifling experience".
