"From beginning to end, Foregone is exceptionally well-crafted instrumental music. Melodies, if that’s the right word, are riffy and repetitive, but Dreare do such an excellent job changing up the same motifs just enough to keep them fresh that minutes can go by building on just one core idea."
"They sit in a heavy-drone, post-prog niche, and the drone influence in particular gives a real heft to their sound that a lot of other spacedoutaltprog bands are missing. Also, the syncopation and time-fuckery that gets thrown into the ambient stew is very welcome;
the consistent effort to move, hide, or otherwise disrespect the one wherever they can get away with it is both noticed and appreciated, with certain sections on “Parts Per Million,” “Reconcile” and especially “Subsets” giving me metronomic whiplash."
