From Graveconcerns Webzine "Ether Aura Will Likely Please Shoegazers Goths And Alt Rockers Alike With Their Debut Crash. A Heaping Portion Of Curve With Smaller Parts Lush Garbage And Cocteau Twins Crash Is A Rhythmic Atmospheric Slice Of Female-Fronted Shoegaze-Infused Alt Rock Permeated By Effects-Laden Guitar Work And Shaped Into An Almost Undeniably Impressive If Slightly Derivative Debut. Immaculately Produced With Apparent Attention To Sonic Layering And Detail It's A Blend Of More Straightforward Bass-Driven Alt Rock Skeletal Structures And Swirling Atmospheric Guitar. Ether Aura's Crash Is A Very Solid Outing Both Energetic And Emotive With A Handful Of Particularly Exceptional Tracks That Warrant Plenty Of Repeat Play. Curve Fans Will Either Love Them Or Given The Reaction Of Many Curve Fans To Garbage Point Out Their Similarities To Curve Every Chance They Get. However That Said Crash Is A Spectacular And Dynamic Alternative Rock Outing With Heavy Shoegazer And Goth Leanings." read less
