7.9

“You’ve Always Meant So Much to Me is the second proper album from Chicago sound art project Wrekmeister Harmonies. It comprises one 38-minute track played by a dozen-member ensemble, veering from near-silence to space-age drone, browbeating doom metal into harp-heavy post-rock.”

Night of Your Ascension

7.8

“Wrekmeister Harmonies' newest collection of sacred choral music, experimental ambient, and doom finds J.R. Robinson taking a developmental leap forward in all three arenas. It features contributions from Marissa Nadler and members of Einstürzende Neubauten, the Body, Indian, Anatomy of Habit, Come, and Twilight, among others.”

Light Falls

7.7

“Featuring members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, J.R. Robinson's chamber-doom project coheres beautifully into a meditation on the banality of evil.”

Then It All Came Down

pitchfork

7.5

“The Chicago chamber doom-and-drone group Wrekmeister Harmonies' new one-track album features 20 musicians, including acoustic strummer Ryley Walker, Codeine/Come guitarist Chris Brokaw, black metal madman Wrest, the doom band Indian, and power electronics savage Mark Solotroff. At the start, Then It All Came Down suggests a world of possibilities; by its end, the only available outcome seems to be some form of purgatory.”
