MagnetDec 15, 2016As mood music for a particularly rainy series of months, it's a perfectly bummed-out comedown. [No. 138, p.60]
-
Nov 4, 2016How they pack so much emotion and feel into so little is nothing short of magical. Their previous bands might have dazzled with sheen and noise, but Until The Hunter impresses with the bare minimum from start to finish.
-
Nov 4, 2016While the glorious noise that band is known for is largely absent from “Under the Hunter,” Ó Cíosóig’s steady hand makes even the superficially tranquil explorations of sound in these songs to seem alive with curiosity and movement.
-
MojoNov 3, 2016The pace rarely rising above languorous, the lyrics resolutely wistful, with the now 50-year-old Sandoval's vocals the compelling focus across 11 drowsy, folk-rock noir essays. [Dec 2016, p.88]
-
UncutNov 3, 2016As ever, it all coalesces around that voice, and its still potent conjuring of beauty and darkness. Timeless music, for heavy times. [Dec 2016, p.34]
-
Nov 3, 2016Seven years is a long time to wait between albums, but if that's how long it takes to make the album as good as this is, then the wait was worth it.
-
Nov 4, 2016It is a pleasure definitively for the listener, and from all reports for the musicians as well.
-
Nov 3, 2016At times the songs could do with a bit of pruning, the elongated blues of the closing “Liquid Lady” overstays its welcome somewhat, but Until the Hunter is an immersive and rewarding record that will keep admirers of their other bands happy and shows that side projects can be more than rock star folly.
-
Jan 3, 2017There is a creeping charm to tracks that seem initially off.
-
Q MagazineNov 15, 2016An album that seeks to pull you under from the off and that, by and large, succeeds. [Jan 2017, p.112]
