The Pitch
1. “For those who like their electronic works to have a bit of a razor’s edge to them, Case Trick present dark, introspective sounds, and by pairing them with this visual component, one can begin to get a grander picture as to whence the pair’s work comes.”

Buzzslayers
1. “I definitely loved this album and if you’re someone who likes experimental electronic or cinematic style material then this is 100% for you because it is outside the box, avant-garde, charismatic, it has ranges of emotion and intensities, and it was put together with a certain level of perfectionism which I find enticing.”

2. “The songs were vast and slightly gloomy which is the sound that they were definitely going for, but it’s all done and their unique way and again, a culmination of influences coming together.”

3. “I also feel like parts of this are maybe what the future of certain kinds of music will be like and in that sense, they’re a little bit ahead of the game and we’re able to sort of push the envelope just enough to have that realization hit.”
