Both members of Canadian troupe The Burning Hell, Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom, deliver something even more deliciously quirky here than their (also excellent) band ever has before. (...). Sharratt’s vocal and Kom’s signature baritone waltz along beautifully side by side, interspersed with swirling, lilting clarinet solos. It’s a wonder to behold – I dare you to listen and not to crack a smile.
- Benji Trenter, BBC Introducing / Freshonthenet

"...an album of post-millennial love songs. As sterile as I’ve made that sound, it isn’t, these are playful, funny, touching and tender, they are mostly duets where acquaintance, attraction, lust and love are buoyed by passages of elevating clarinet and sax. They have something in common with Gospel Music (the band) in their direct emotional honesty (though they have none of the loucheness) there are also traces of the dryness of the Silver Jews and the personable meanderings of Herman Dune (Stanley Brinks guests). … Arial and Mathias open themselves up both emotionally and artistically, it could be a mess but it’s actually a tight disciplined look at love in the 21st century.
