    Tarot Sport is an act of patience that pays back the time you actively spend with it. [Fall 2009, p.58]

  2. No Ripcord
    60
    The album definitely has its moments, and the first half is very engaging, but they lose it in the long run.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    60
    The main problem with Tarot Sport is that it sometimes seems to be trying too hard, building drama into repetitive riffs by sheer force, urging greater and greater effort on listeners who are already a bit out of breath.

    Just amazing stuff...really bringing drone back into the discussion when it comes to electronica genres. Great.

    Raw, unrefined, genius. Absolutely brilliant.

    Electronic Post-Rock. Perfect background noise, yet ballsy enough to take the foreground.
