"As much as 'Groundswells' feels like a refinement though, it also broadens out the band’s sonic palette in some very evocative ways.... chiselled into an even more bleak, monolithic slab of heaviness " THE QUIETUS
"The dynamics are phenomenal. Wren find a riff and focus on it, adding weight to it with each repetition. Each track has the feel of mountains being built up then smashed back down." ASTRAL NOIZE
"This is a huge achievement. Even after I had finished listening to this album I had the riffs circling around my mind and making me want to listen to it again. I expect to see this one riding high on the end of year lists as this is stunning post-metal." ECHOES & DUST
"This is a harrowing, yet oddly beautiful experience that completely subsumes the listener into its bleak world, grinding down all before it into dust." NOIZZE
"Groundswells is gloomy, dark, lugubrious, the soundtrack to motional trauma and swings from anguished introspection to annihilative rage." AURAL AGGRAVATION
"This is an engaging and textured release, offering a compelling take on post-metal heaviness and mood-building." WONDERBOX METAL
