about

"The music of Vortex Surfer can be described as a tasty cocktail of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) with a pinch of Elder and, naturally with their name originating from one their songs, Motorpsycho.
Eindhovens own Pieter "Pidah" Kloos, also of Motorpsycho sound engineering fame, did the mastering on their recently released album "Versailles". For fans of... Well, you can guess who."
- Music venue Effenaar

"Het Limburgse gitaar-noise quartet Vortex Surfer maakt een smakelijke cocktail van Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) met een scheut Elder en, hoe kan het ook anders met deze naam, Motorpsycho. Hun onlangs verschenen album 'Versailles' heeft een Eindhovens randje door de mastering van Pieter 'Pidah' Kloos, die niet geheel toevalligerwijs ook jarenlang de geluidtech was van Motorpsycho. Voor liefhebbers van... die kun je dus nu zelf wel invullen."
- Poppodium de Effenaar

"Epic tracks like "Say What You Want To Say" and "Edge of the Mountain" show the bands progress. The first track manages to mix all the elements of the bands sound, taking inspiration from prog, post rock, noise and stoner rock. The result is an epic whirlwind of sound. The track "Edge of the Mountain" continues this trend of grand sound, with strong riffage, an atmospheric mid section and a thunderous, uptempo climax at the end."
- Never Mind The Hype

'De epische tracks Say What You Want To Say en Edge Of The Mountain tonen het meest de vooruitgang binnen de band. Eerstgenoemde mengt alle elementen van de band samen tot een geheel, met invloeden uit de prog, postrock, noise en stonerrock, resulterend in een wervelend epos. Edge Of The Mountain bevat eenzelfde grandeur, met potige riffs, een atmosferisch middenstuk en een daverende, uptempo climax op het eind.'
