  1. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    A glimmering, glitchy refinement of the sounds Wiesenfeld made helming the electronic/organic orchestra Post-Foetus and its ambient counterpart, Geotic

  2. 8.2 |   Pitchfork

    With Cerulean, he places himself as something of the pop voice that the L.A. beathead scene never realized it needed

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Cerulean is a collage of sounds that don’t all exactly fit together, yet as a record is loveable for its imperfections

  4. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    This music is deeply atmospheric, but not at all detached

  5. 8.0 |   Prefix

    Cerulean is a very good album. Its highs are high, and you don't have to be into the rest of Anticon's nerd-rap nepotism to be into it

  9. 8.0 |   BBC

    At its most intoxicating, Cerulean is wonderfully escapist fare...Even at its most perfunctory it’s never dull

  10. 8.0 |   NME

    A satisfyingly polychromatic treat. Print edition only

  11. 8.0 |   AU Review

    The perfect marriage of bookish, glitchy hip-hop and the kind of hazy electronica defined by Boards of Canada, Four Tet and the whole chillwave thing

  12. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Married to his preternatural production skills, Wiesenfeld will undoubtedly have a bright future in music, and hopefully, it’s a future that mines his abilities both as sound manipulator and songwriter

  13. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    It’s the sledgehammer rhythm section that makes it what it is: an ambitious electronica act that wants to grab your attention rather than fade into the background
