Press

“Jon DeRosa is a madman! He wants to control the world with his beautiful, antiseptic melodies! He's nearly succeeded yet again! Tell the world before it's too late!”

— Eric Carr, Pitchfork

“Aarktica...was more meditative, erecting dense noise superstructures around serene loops of guitar. There were hints of South Asian music with the drone of a harmonium & vocal lines suggesting the modes of ragas. These were urban, not pastoral meditations.”

— Jon Pareles, New York Times

“In the musical marketplace Aarktica might live in the shadows, but their meeting of songs and atmosphere, sound and vision, is incomparable. ”

— Dave Heaton, Erasing Clouds

“DeRosa has that strange ability to mix the merry and macabre...”

— The Silent Ballet

“...Aarktica main man Jon DeRosa's bored-sounding baritone matches [Stephin] Merritt moan for groan, yet his comedown anthems are couched in the kind of elegant drone rock crystallized by Low and Spiritualized. ”

— Magnet
