“Not unlike Sakamoto’s Async, Parvin and Vail have created an album with unlikely and surprising juxtapositions of sounds, instruments, and field recordings—sometimes within the same piece of music. Take the sequence of Wuthering to Pop ’n Fresh to Last Night—in turn delightful, mysterious, and menacing, and at times, all at once.”

“I really dig this. Over the nearly 40-minute runtime, Tenor Jay manages to explore a lot of musical ideas. The flow from song to song is marvelous and each song feels part of a narrative whole. [sound/field] simply sounds wonderful.”

— Ryan Untalan, Harvest Records, Asheville
