I feel I should criticize this record somewhere, but I just can't, it's wonderful. A highly enjoyable, nostalgic and inventive release from Kning Disk. Put this on at a party and show your friends just how cool you really are.’ Michael Henaghan- Angry Ape------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ‘Where Has It Gone… is an unexpected pleasure trail while constantly tease the senses and leads to a variety of enchanted places.

Misophone at times sounds like indie pop, at other times I feel like I'm listening to some kind of nightmare induced circus music.’ Bring me up:The Sound---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘It feels like when two poles meet, the new mixed with old and that something complicated is implemented in a childishly simple way.’ Let’s Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘An indiefolk album you find in the woods and which takes you on a balloon flight over the ocean Misophone is a must-know.’ An Inside out Sock------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘Misophone will draw you into their weightless universe where filigree melodies hang above innovative and complex instrumentation.
