“A hugely involving, weirdly moving experience: over the course of its 43 minutes, it variously feels blissful, soothing, profoundly creepy, uplifting and cathartic.”
The Guardian **** (Album of the Week)
“Marks a subtle shift in Hecker’s habitual style, a pivot away from his hazy trademark.”The Observer ****
“The word “immersive” is bandied about a lot, but Hecker’s work really is.”
Pitchfork (8.2)
“His music is ravishing in a way that transcends method and context. Radically beautiful.” Uncut (8/10)
“A record that’s serene on the surface but with a dark undertow.” MOJO ****
“Wholly absorbing…That you are compelled to stay listening…is proof of this record’s eerie power.” Q ****
“He makes for a turbulent sonic trip that ultimately feels redemptive.”
Resident Advisor
“It is clear from Love Streams, with its increased manipulation of vocals and wider palette, that he is becoming braver.” The Wire
“Love Streams is both a masterpiece of contemporary composition and of emotional sensitivity.” The Quietus
