"Alternating moments of inexorable tension and luminous respite, Oiseaux-Tempête's debut album takes flight and slowly unfolds in an implacable ascension, the rich photographic contributions fleshing out the poetic narrative. This first release is carrying us beyond the stoner, free rock and experimental labels. How can music voice the violence and confusion that fuels discontent and protest? Oiseaux-Tempête offers an answer to this question." SUB ROSA // "This truly is a great album. If anybody else has released a more impressive debut this year, I certainly have not heard it." BRAINWASHED - USA // "De tonnerre. Le grand art d’Oiseaux-Tempête, ou plutôt sa grande victoire, est de suggérer plus que surligner, de laisser la liberté à l’auditeur de relier les pointillés. Fermement conseillé à tous ceux qui ont le mal de l’amer." GONZAÏ - FR // "Projet altruiste, poétique et implicitement militant, un post-rock tendu qui porte l'angoisse comme la nuée porte l'orage." NEW NOISE MAGAZINE N°20 - FR // "Simply a set that rocks. Not only is there no interest in producing a viable single, there’s no desire to adhere to a specific format. This might be considered bravery, but in this case it’s more likely that it’s a reflection of musicians who have no problem being themselves. Oiseaux-Tempête offers textures, riffs and internal developments that attract the creative-minded listener." A CLOSER LISTEN - USA // "Dans une alternance de visions chaotiques et d’envolées mélodiques à la fois douces et éclatantes, Oiseaux-Tempête parcourt un paysage politique désolé, mais toujours traversé par un espoir irréductible. Un superbe premier album en forme de constat désenchanté sur notre société occidentale." MOUVEMENT - FR // "It’s a volatile record; explosive and unpredictable like a natural disaster at some points, pregnant with catastrophic potential at others, with each band member feeding off the others with a very direct and sensitive attitude toward collaborative consequence." ATTN:MAGAZINE - UK // "Une fois en vol, Oiseaux-Tempête plane littéralement au dessus de la notion de temps, picore nos émotions, brave les bourrasques, agrippe l’auditeur pour un voyage imaginaire ou défilent des paysages seulement discernables à la lueur de la lune."
