PRESS

“what Sam Andreae does is liminal music, he shows you the clicks, the noises, the breaths, the rattle and hum that producers normally want to take off the record” John Doran, Quietus (2017) on BBC 3 Late Junction

“at times abrasive, others funny, yet always engaging — taking Phil Minton style vocal gymnastics into an ensemble setting” Decoder Magazine (2017) about “Cows In Large Pastures”

“Andreae delves into an impressive vocabulary of skilfully controlled overtones, rapid keypad flutters and fragile harmonics, glistening like filaments held up to the light.” Daniel Spicer, The Wire (2015)
