“Elsie Martins encompasses her many field recordings -  snails on metronomes, singing brandy glasses
-  into an album that’s part heartbeat warmth and part ominous abstraction. Comes with “audio cookbook” for DIY tape experiments”  - ★★★

“..“Progressive echoing ambient swirl” 

“A classy sea of sound -  if you immerse yourself in it, it’ll carry you off and wash you up on another psychic beach entirely!”

ATTN Magazine -  The Otolith Sessions Review
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
27.11.13


“..huge, densely orchestrated narratives: teeming starlight soaring over fierce tribal percussion, hazy blankets of voice and saxophone tilting through a tidal throb and sway, heartbeat techno forcing choir noise upward in billowing clouds. The translucent hand of tape processing winds itself deftly in between each instrument… and rather than choking out her collaborators through brash applications of tape FX or sudden varispeed plummets, her treatment runs in parallel, tugging overtone into gentle full blossom or smothering particular frequencies in soft, analogue moss..” 


Atom Eye's Otolith Sessions receives a glowing review in ATTN Magazine.

Trilogy 120 - Part II "Single of the Week" on The Digital Fix
________________________________________________________________________________________
15.03.12



"The distance tribal drums and pulsating guitars conjures images of a frightened chase down dark alleys pursued by hidden spectres in the second part of Atom Eye's enthralling debut offering. The build-up of suspense over the eleven minutes as the eerie sounds slide in and out of consciousness is a masterful display of evocative music and true experimentation, a daring move to bring ambient and drone music to a wider audience".

Review by Panic Dots Magazine (Trilogy 120 -  Part I)
________________________________________________________________________________________
02.02.12



"It's always a good start when the intro to a track makes you get up off the couch to make sure you’ve locked the doors and windows. The heavy mechanical breathing, a gradual drone that gets louder (and creepier) as more instruments join its sonorous climb, and an overall feeling of desolation befitting of the cold weather....  The sound is pure cinematic, conjuring apocalyptic images of abandoned buildings, rusted machinery, and a world over run by the undead – or maybe that’s just me and my penchant for George Romero".

"...What is sure to be a groundbreaking body of work over the next year!"

A Badge of Friendship Press Release "Introducing Atom Eye"
______________________________________________________________________________________
17.01.12



"Atom Eye’s Trilogy EP will be released in three individual parts, each part will have it’s own artwork, video and sound, tying together the EP as a whole. The award-winning percussionist Pete Lockett (Björk, David Holmes, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Lee Scratch Perry, Primal Scream, Scanner) has contributed to Part I and II. This collaboration has been a perfect fit as Lockett worked extensively in the film industry, arranging and recording percussion for many Hollywood hits. Whereas Part III will see a collaboration from Mute artist, composer and producer Simon Fisher Turner - whose works include soundtracks for Derek Jarman's Caravaggio, The Last of England and The Garden as well as the David Lynch-produced Nadja; perfect additions to Atom Eye’s oeuvre".
