    Become Zero sees Chesley using digital processing for the first time; “Radiate” benefits greatly, evolving over nine minutes from treated bowed dissonance into churchy ambient drone, while “Machine” adds layers to an initial loping pulse until it’s an enveloping roar. [Oct 2016, p.61]

    Become Zero is an affecting and profound work that inspires great empathy.

    There is no doubt that Become Zero is a heavy record in every sense, an obliteration of the senses to leave one wrung out and euphoric, offering both epiphanies from Heaven and elegies from Hell.

    Sadness is necessarily these songs' anchor, but there's hope and resolve, too. [Oct 2016, p.35]

    It's brutal, direct and reflective while struggling for a way both out of and within the dark.

    Become Zero is a stunning album that takes Helen Money's already otherworldly, highly accomplished sound to fascinating new levels.

    It’s a tour de force performance that never revolves around technique--instead Chesley channels her rage, sorrow and acceptance into sometimes soothing, sometimes serrated devotions of pure, unadulterated feeling.
