Staf Magazine – Chvad SB “Crickets Were the Compass” (2014)
En seis canciones Chvad SB establece un tono de mal humor lleno de vibraciones misteriosas que en su mayoría son inquietantes y a veces, melódicas. Los paisajes sonoros cuentan una historia.

Ox Fanzine – Chvad SB “Crickets Were the Compass” (2014)
Musiker und Label schätzen sich. Keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Das Menschliche, so der Info-Text weiter, stehe in seiner Musik genauso im Vordergrund wie das Akustische.

Genre/Influences: Dark-ambient, apocalyptic soundscape. Content: If Chvad SB doesn’t directly ring a bell; some bands this American artist has been involved in have become quite renowned and established bands. Controlled Bleeding even belongs to the so-called pioneers and references in industrial/experimental music, but Chvad SB got also involved in The Qualia (signed on WTII Records),…

a decouvrir absolument – Chvad SB “Crickets Were the Compass”
Ils l’ont fait, oui Charles toi qui frappait du poing contre le sable face à une statue de la liberté enfoncée dans le sable, la mer commençant son long office de destruction par l’érosion. La bombe a donné à l’homme ce qu’il voulait, un souffle nouveau, sauf que le souffle a le bruit sourd d’un…
