    There's an admirable level of refinement to Hubris, even as it also feels brilliantly alive and ever in the moment.

    It’s a diverse group and they’re doing some excellent work. Really great stuff.

    On Hubris, Oren Ambarchi displays the confidence to allow a jumble of musicians and sounds to come off like a beautifully orchestrated, high-concept piece.

    Utterly addictive and reality-shifting. [Jan 2017, p.21]

    Oren Ambarchi and several of his distinguished collaborators move from cold pulsing grooves to free electronic jazz freakout in a manner most conductive to euphoria. [Jan 2017, p.97]

    It’s wild, almost bacchanalian, Ambarchi leading everyone to shared euphoric experience with his guitar--then it’s over, and everything dissolves rapidly into a dazed silence [Nov 2016, p.57]

    Few artists could assemble a group of musicians like that those found on Hubris at all, but Ambarchi lets everyone do their part, then fade into the background. It's the difference between hubris and vision.
