criambique - a littling (official version)
Aaahhhhh the swift and permanent spell of desperate desire, oh! How to enjoy this while it’s in my hands! My hands! How to hold onto this for this brief, sweet season above ground? Walking into my own unknown... In the deepest slows of too long memory, Is your mouth warm like I remember it? Is your mouth wet like I remember it?
KXSU & KMGP Review: 1/21/2016
EDM has become all the rage with the Millenials. With the genre blowing up to mainstream status, the music has diverted from the genius of European groups from the late 70s/early 80s and the DJ explosion of the late 90s, and instead has began to put out prepackaged garbage with very little character. Enter Criambique, who seek to smash the mediocrity of mainstream electronic music.
Criambique's debut EP, Float, lives up to the band's self-described witchbeat genre of electronic music and dazzles the listener with their hypnotic beats and celestial vocals. The production harkens back to the classic age of mainstream electronic bands like Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin. At times, it even feels like a (much) more upbeat early 80s Brian Eno, inducing the listener in to a sonic state of ethereality. Think a more electronic Blonde Redhead. This, however, does not lead to a sound that feels out of touch. Instead, it takes the best qualities of those early influencers and gives us a modern take on their electronic prowess. Vi, as the band's lead singer, complements the slow throbbing beats perfectly. This brings an almost surrealist dream-like quality to the tracks. It is in this fashion that her classical vocal training truly shines through, giving her a vocal range that can't be matched by most artists. Witchbeat may be Criambique's own genre, but considering that the trio is on par with the quality of electronic R&B stalwarts FKA Twigz, Tessa Thompson, and even fellow Seattle group, The Flavr Blue, we could soon see a rise in bands who mimicking their style. All in all, this EP is a must listen!

Erosion Factory Radio & Onyx Music Movement Review: 2/10/2016
Favorite Songs – A Littling, Walls
This album starts out with a more serious mood, but quickly becomes a fun and an even more entertaining experience. Criambique’s music influences certainly show throughout their album. Float has such a wide range of sounds and ranges of motion that it keeps one on their toes. Just when you think it is going to go one way, it goes in a completely different direction, which I find appealing. This is not to say that the transitions are in any way choppy. The music flows as a river flows through the mountains. There is a variety of tempos, from dancey fast, to slow and contemplative that keep this album interesting. It’s serious. It’s fun. It’s passionate and whimsy (Isn’t that Alexis’ department?). All on one album!
Vi has a passion in her voice that is sometimes rare in today’s music. Harmonies perfectly round out the melodies in just the right places which give the album a pleasing haunting quality at times. Vi’s voice reminds me of Switchblade Symphony’s Tina Root, but with a beauty that is all Vi’s own. Lyrically, the entire album is breathtaking. In addition, there are three remixes, two of A Littling and one of Free Still which give Float the perfect balance of brutal percussion (A Littling – A Brutal Mix) and ambience (Free Still – Scared of Being Too Wonky mix).
My daughter, Raven, especially enjoyed the music on Float and during Hypnopompa, said, “It would be really good music to dance to while incense is lit!” As she is ferociously honest, it doesn’t get a more credible opinion than that.
For anyone looking for an amazing album, look no further than "Float". If you are interested in purchasing "Float", it is available at the band's website at criambique.com.
