"All in all, Pita Parka, Pt. II is the most musically dense and ambitious four-song record you’ll hear all year, an epic that leaves you wanting more." - Malcolm Fraser, Maisonneuve maisonneuve.org/article/2025...

thanks @thequietus.com for the kind words "Pita Parka, Pt. II: Nim Egduf is an album that enchants and transports. Each of its blissed-out segments appears like a portal to some cosy, safe place. Meanwhile, reality slips away." thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
