4.0 excellentVoivod STAFF | October 3rd 14

By blending the psychedelic, the post- and the stoner ends of rock plus some unexpected surprises (the reggae passage in "Sightwaster"), Ukraine's Somali Yacht Club have crafted an exciting album that more people into the said genres need to discover. The jams flow unpretentiously, the sound production treats the heavier and the mellower parts accordingly, whereas the sparse male vocals heard in the rear, come to complete the mesmerizing experience.

4.0 excellentsokorny | December 7th 22

"Loom" hooked me in straight away and really enjoyed every track on the album. The tracks all are around the 8 minute mark, but you don't really notice the length. There is enough variety across each track that it doesn't become monotonous (a bit of a trap maybe post bands fall into). The vocal interludes break up the largely instrumental based tracks nicely. "Loom" and "Sun" are the standout tracks for me.

3.0 goodGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | December 21st 21

Healthy levels of sleepiness in this stoner music, also healthy levels of haziness.

3.5 greatStop calling Intronaut post-metal | October 2nd 16

This was impressive upon first listen but grew off me after a few spins. Some of it gets repetitive. 3.4/5

A nice blend of desert rock and post-metal without loosing grip on quality. Think Truckfighters with some cool ethereal melody right in the middle.
