REVIEWS
"Each track is pure and sincere and deceptively rich, each created within its own little world, or perhaps conjuring a snapshot of a particular time/place in our own." - Various Small Flames
"songs...ranging in tone from Dump to something more like a Tubeway Army session for K Records." - The Wire
"Somewhere between classic singer-songwriter and spherical dream-pop, the music of Clarke Sondermann moves" - éclat
"Clarke Sondermann’s axe-use spans a wide range of genres, from Sea & Cake and Minus the Bear jazziness to an almost Slint-like angularity" - Cassette Gods
"Somewhat sad but ultimately uplifting blend of indie pop, some folk and healthy handful of synths." - Poule D'Or
"dream pop...that’ll put your mind and mood at ease." - Abduction Radiation
"Rhythmic, hypnotic, a journey into the interior. Lyrics & melodies bubble into the subconscious...Antumbra Pull is a space folk journey of the highest order." - One Minute Cassette Reviews
