LIVING PICTURES
Persistent Dreams featured #1 on SBS RADIO Downtempo Chill
"...a musical endeavour that finds listeners at the right time, wrapping them in introspection and transformative energy. Then it spits them out, greatly enriched by the sonic experience. That worked for us, too. ...Echoing the likes of Brian Eno, Nils Frahm, and Aphex Twin, among others, Living Pictures managed to release a record that feels intense, yet soothing: isn’t that what life often feels like?" - MESMERIZED
"Each time I listen...I hear some new facet I hadn’t noticed. There’s a great deal of attention to detail...with richly interwoven sounds, full of texture and tonal colour." - ABSYNTH SPACE
"Others may have a completely different interpretation and emotional response, and that is the beauty and uniqueness of this album. Reif Larsen and Andrew Perreault have created a cinematic masterpiece, and we are fortunate to have one of the most significant albums of 2023." - INDIE BOULEVARD

"Living Pictures’ debut album Crossing the Bridge is a masterpiece of modern electronic music...a cohesive and well-crafted listening experience that rewards repeated listens." - PLASTIC MAGAZINE
"A stunning electronic voyage." - ILLUSTRATE MAGAZINE
"Each piece is loaded with so many tiny sonic oddities, such a myriad of choices that give a weight, a depth, and an emotion to each piece. It never feels minimal even when it is quiet." - FIND NO ENEMY
"Dazzling...musical delight...melancholy...magic...deep and powerful." - (translated from French) IGGY MAGAZINE
"The melodic ideas themselves are so expressive, that it was even difficult to notice that the entire album was instrumental. The music itself spoke to me with its inherent emotion in a way that was not only lyrical but much more profound than lyrics." - SISTRA
"Dreamlike and seductive." - (translated from Italian) ARTISTI ONLINE
"The beauty of Crossing the Bridge is that the musicians mixed all [the] elements...where almost all the tracks differ in sound, but at the same time they successfully add up to a single story." - (translated from Russian) ZIMOWSKI JOURNAL / POP HEAVEN
"...brimming with fresh and exciting ideas from start to finish. With such a strong and confident approach to their sound, they are definitely ones to keep a firm eye on for the future." - MYSTIC SONS
"Pokes your brain." - ALCHEMICAL RECORDS
