" A fine album of thumping bass-driven anthems. This stuff must be unimaginably exciting in a club setting.... What is undeniable is that, irrespective of genre, Bonemachine have an acute ear for what makes a good hook – the album abounds with them" - Heathen Angel

" full of seedy, sleazy, atmospheric moods.  A soundtrack to suburban life" - News of the Noise

"Stunning, evocative!! Innovative. This simply drags you in and won't let go.... superb!.... this is excellent!.... just divine. Evocative and thought provoking, subtly smooth yet powerful, exciting yet relaxing - all made possible by attention to detail and carefully juxtaposed dynamics and emotions. A massively infectious piece of work." - Toxic Pete

" An apocalyptic groove built on ever-growing and pulsating dynamics... Its not all angry and mutated.... like Gershwin experimenting with Massive Attack loops! AMAZING! " - Southampton Echo

" Why Can't We Catch The Liars' is the work of dark and menacing beings.... hacienda dub beats to creepy media narration via Kid A-meets-Leftfield in 2099 soundscapes....  Mesmerising stuff, for sure.... This album is worthy of an MI5 file at least, which certainly makes it worthy of your utmost attention" - Is This Music

"on arching back from the play button, sitting agape at the speakers as the sound crawls from within, it's
rather astonishing (and admirable) to hear the sort of power their music now beholds.....So, let's recap: perverse sex acts, global politics, animal massacre, violent crime, euthanasia, war, more perverse sex acts. You couldn't ask for much more from an album – just don't put it on during Christmas dinner or anything." - Drowned In Sound

"This shadowy group are restless with their influences... 'Red Light Receiving' growls with the grim synthetic reverence of Violator-era Depeche Mode.... the effect is gorgeous.... a Muse-like space adventure of double bass and digital lunacy.... a post-Leftfield John Lydon in a room with Primal Scream.... The way that Bonemachine have built an album that tackles both downbeat and forceful synth-pop makes this a very listenable record" - High Voltage

"Sampling and beat loops work well for this atmospheric album with surprises scattered throughout. 'Red Light Receiving' pulls in a throbbing dance beat . Guitars fuse with imagination and energetic electro sounds for some trip hop pulses and creative arrangements" - Glasswerk

"Why Can't We Catch The Liars?" is heavy, industrial dance music, injected with occasional thunderous guitars... relentless beats and unforgiving level of bass... a sleazy monster.... sounds like it should soundtrack a Film Noir.... an impressive second album" - Contact Music

"haunting esoteric flourishes all washed over an air of grimy malevolence… An exciting, thrilling listen which will pose more questions than answers for you…" - Subba-Cultcha

"Bonemachine are a sonic-electronic revelation, a riot of body-rattling bass and heartbeat-imitating beats set to the crunch of a six-string and the sound of jaws crashing floorwards" - Drowned In Sound

“Bonemachine do something that I can only describe as the black, industrial dub-dance answer to The Beatles double white. Exotic, experimental, but hypnotically insidious…Investigation recommended” -  UNPEELED

“A complex, intense musical experience” - LOGO

“Bonemachine are making some incredibly original music which is well thought out and executed. It's sexy, wistful and atmospheric” BBC Showcase

"Beautifully conveyed - sort of Massive Attack when they were good - exhibiting more than enough conviction"- Jockey Slut

"An album full of dirt. Neu-trip-hop beastery.... dark and dry-lipped vocals, bad-trip lysergic layers of lazy-filth synths and an intelligence of arrangement that marks the Portsmouth group out as a forceful and fizzing act....epic emotronica"  - The Fly

"A haunting and intense debut" - Buzz Mag

"A cinematic treat of blockbuster like symphonic waves pierced by swollen space dub grinds grooving intoxicated to the soaring sensually humid middle Eastern motifs found filtering throughout, alluring to say the least" - Losing Today

"Richly atmospheric - particularly dark trip hop:" - Bubblegum Slut

"In the words of Lemon Jelly, beautiful, just beautiful" - Blowback Mag

"Contenders for the surprise UK breakthrough…." – SEVEN

"Miserable bastards" - Joe Shooman
