SELECTED PRESS

"Ten tracks that fly in spiral towards a void that sounds comforting and reflexive. Songs that shine in a dark room. The Mexico City musician creates a tridimensional halo, perfect to get lost in the infinite."

 

- One Heap Wonder (Mexico)

 

"Instrumental atmospheric pieces composed of loops of found sounds and a DX-100, compiled over a few years. Not drone or noise, but drone pop or noise pop."

 

- Rocknerd (UK)

 

"Incorporating subtle experimental doses, Makoto Kino knows how to create songs within pop atmospheres, pleasant enough to captivate the listener. Sculpting samples and weaving loops with intoxicating modulations into comfortable zones that turn into perched spheres."

 

- SilenceAndSound (France)

 

"A decadent atmosphere and heartless eroticism in which voices are sung repeatedly. The color to swallow everything is black."

 

- Lights and Music (Japan)
