"Erik Satie meets Hood on Björk’s patio." -
Dream Magazine
"Hints at a record collection that includes The Cranes, Portishead, Everything But The Girl, Tuxedomoon and Massive Attack." -
The Devil Has The Best Tuna
"A mash-up of the early Sugarcubes with the rhythms of Air." -
Here Comes The Flood
"Flowing out of Brooklyn like a Björk / Sigur Rós collaboration." -
Noize Makes Enemies
"Une carcasse aux formes pourtant étonnamment charnelles et sexy, bricolée à la main verte par Kevin C. Smith : instruments organiques épars et électronique discrète y forment un dédale nettement plus riche et complexe qu’une écoute discrète le laisserait supposer – un écrin de glace pour la voix pétrifiante d’Alina Simone, version cryogénisée de Nina Simone." -
Les Inrockuptibles
"It’s all gloriously downbeat, beautifully desolate, naturally twisted and hugely impressive. The sound of raindrops glistening on the eyelashes of angels with dirty faces." -
Tangents
"Brooklyn duo, The Artificial Sea, fashion melancholic, smoky jazz infused soundscapes that quietly crawl out of the speakers like silent tears from a weeping madonna." -
The Devil Has The Best Tuna
"As much modern art as it is music, like a vast and complex sculptural installation, it forces the listener to think deeply about what they're hearing – about its meaning and symbolism, about what its creator is trying to convey. It is impossible to listen to The Artificial Sea and just let it wash over you. This is a highly thought provoking, highly intelligent piece of craftsmanship in musical form. Enchanting, mesmerising and simply sensational." -
Noize Makes Enemies
"City Island is a stunning debut from a duo who have clearly found a unique voice in a crowded genre. This is a group who truly deserve success and if they keep delivering music like this I’m sure they will succeed. From a disappointing start City Island soon became one of the finest albums I’ve heard all year. A masterpiece." -

"Somewhere On The Line is the best debut album in the widened Trip-Hop-Genre since Goldfrapps legendary Felt Mountain" (Zillo Magazine 03/09)
Hello, Winter records is launching a new theme-based compilation (vol 3) and invites you to a musical composition. The best tracks will be selected in order to be part of the new cd.
So, for our third compilation we want you to use the 5 musical notes of "Close encounters of the third kind". These are : sol (4) la (4) fa (4) fa (3) do (4).
Those notes can be the main theme of the track or not. We must here it once at least. You can whisper it, sing it, play it with any instrument you want. You can decline it.
The deadline is mid-july.
We can't wait to listen to your propositions and choose the most interesting ones.
