Camphor

“Filled with glittering soundscapes, breezy aesthetics, and his own haunting vocals at the helm, this new record is a bright yet sweeping collection that cements [Max] as a true talent on the new music scene.”

- Mystic Sons (feature review/interview)

“…haunting vocals and crisp, glowing instrumentation."

- Mother Church Pew (reviewing The Long Dark)

“…subtle power that brings to mind early Velvet Underground."

- The Noise Room (reviewing The Long Dark)

“This is a song to lose yourself to. Just melt away into the abyss.”

- The Music Below, reviewing Oh Desire

"… a touching electropop song… filled with emotions and theatricality. This highly atmospheric piece, with its arrangements of great beauty balanced between acoustic and synthetic tones, calls to listeners with its distinguished musicality.”

- Boulimique de Musique (translated from French, reviewing Oh Desire)

Tiny Mix Tapes: "picture-perfect atmosphere..."
