ComeHereFloyd Music Blog (USA)
“'Milk' is one of those full-lengths you want to spin over and over again
Some of their twists and turns go beyond comprehension.

ThoughtsWordsAction Music Blog (SRB)

and give these guys a listen.”

"The captivating 'Doris' visual is a fitting companion
to the mellow and guitar driven song."
Dopecausewesaid (USA)
"Listening to ‘A Strange Loss’ is like being immersed in a piece
of performance art, or a brooding play (...)
Both vocals are remarkable and make for a beautiful blend
when they do join together for parallel moments of reflection."

FVMusicBlog (UK)
"(...)The sounds are raw, yet elegantly wrought with stalking bass lines,
acoustic strains, sustaining lead lines snaking around an evocative lead
vocal telling stories like a carnival provocateur (...)"
American Pancake (USA)
"Met een flinke spanningsboog, een ronkende partij gitaren
en dreigende drumritmes wordt er in 'We Skinned a Ghost'
opgebouwd naar een furieus einde."
NeverMindTheHype (NL)
"SPIRITBOX kruipt diep onder je huid."
