"You’ll be hard pressed to find another album that paints such a perfectly serene environment for listeners in which to lose themselves..."
- Popsense

“Church, with Song Force Crystal, brings a measured and complex delivery.”
- OPB Music

"[Song Force Crystal] is a testament to Church's fully realized aesthetic: a ghostly, vocal-weaving, existential stir through lush, barren, but always pretty worlds."
- Portland Mercury

   About Church

“The best, most unfuckwithable, avant-pop I’ve heard…my default jam of the month. One of Portland’s finest indie outfits.”
-Portland Mercury

“A perfection of textures that leaves little room for improvement.”
-Vanguard

“There’s no end to [their] spinning wheel of blossom/decay/sunshine/gloom.”
-Eashfa

“Soft beautiful music that pulsates, drones and spikes…you should be there for this.”
-Fuck Bad Music
