Kerrang!Jan 8, 2015This is a wholly disturbing listen. [6 Dec 2014, p.54]
-
Dec 15, 2014At its best Tētēma is just as intelligent and compelling as Patton's collaborations with John Zorn; hopefully Patton and Pateras will have more dangerous visions for us all in the future (if there is one).
-
Dec 15, 2014Recorded in sessions at a French convent and a San Francisco studio and featuring analogue electronics alongside strings, brass and woodwind, Geocidal is monolithic.
-
Alternative PressDec 15, 2014This album takes time to settle into, but once you are acclimated, it will leave you tingling. [Jan 2015, p.94]
-
Dec 15, 2014Geocidal is a fascinating listen purely for the fact that it acknowledges no boundaries: musical, geographical or otherwise. You may not love it; you may not even like it; but you'll pay rapt attention regardless. What it lacks in immediacy, the duo's debut album makes up for in sheer spirit.
-
The WireDec 16, 2014The mish-mash of styles wouldn't be an issue if it sounded like Pateras and Patton were surrendering to something other than themselves, but what comes across instead is a desire to demonstrate mastery. [Jan 2015, p.70]
