Press

"Constructed on trip-hop rhythms and deep resonating bass sounds, wafting electronics surrounded by a mysterious touch and very charismatic vocals are leading this album to a good end..."

— ED, -SIDE-LINE Magazine

"The rather marvellously titled As Small As A World And Large As Alone is the debut offering from duo Martin Birke (Genre Peak) and Percy Howard (Meridiem Project) going under the name of Hardboiled Wonderland. It is an album which finds the pair present trip-hop in an alternative rock kind of way, with lashings of strings, electronic beats and some glorious vocals leading to a slow grower of an album that pays off repeated listens in quite some style...."

— Steven Reid, Sea of Tranquility

“Each of the ten tracks on the record show not only the duo’s talent as musicians, but more importantly, their unbridled zeal and enthusiasm for creating adventurous music. From the sultry, emotionally charged title track to the infectious dance beats of “Jungle Fever” and “Looking for Strange”, the trip-hop of “Filthy” and “I Carry Your Heart”, the album is bold, delicate and introspective.”

— MOVEMENT MAGAZINE.COM

“The 10 tracks of the album have a wonderful string orchestration and Percy Howard finds the chance to exhibit what a great singerr he is while the music is write, composed and performed by Martin Birke. A mixture of electronic trip-hop soundscapes and slightly distorted sounds strategically put here and there that would be very interesting to the fans of Barry Adamson and Massive Attack.”

— Mike Pougounas, Tribe4mian Blogzine

“As Small as a World and Large as Alone, combining Birke’s elegantly layered keyboards and samples and Howard’s sultry vocals, is a sonic venture through electronic and trip-hop compositions and a passionate and powerful debut. ”

— Howlin Wuelf Media, Howlin Wuelf Media
