“Now here is an amazing music video from La Fin Absolute Du Monde for the song “Leave Me in Detroit”. Not really sure what to call the style of music other than maybe chill with slight hint of dubstep. The video is an excellent trippy story and the song makes me feel like I’m in a movie!”

“Taking a plethora of schematics the band is unafraid to explore the extremes of relationships and values and it is this juxtaposition of sound and context that makes La Fin Absolut Du Monde such an intriguing space to explore. The disturbing imbalances are superbly pitched and the listener is always kept on tenterhooks to discover the next layer of the map that the two creators will explore. It is of pleasure to discover an outfit that is more than happy to step out of the zone and challenge the listener, so it is with some considerable interest that I look forward to finding out how La Fin Absolute Du Monde evolves.”

— Tim Whale, Indie Bands Blog

“Violent and oddly danceable. There's a lot of genre bending here, moving from hardcore, almost club-type dance music with touches of autotune and industrial drumming to ambient sections that are pure sonic velvet. "Slinky and sophisticated if not a bit off-kilter. This is the music for nightmare lounges with zombie pianists and ghoulish singers that entertain the various creatures of the night"”

— OCR, Moosick

“For me, the most captivating thing about this release is the constant diversity in genre. I can, and have, sit and listen to these few songs for hours on end and maintain full interest. With a background ranging from Metal to classical training what else can you expect? La Fin Absolute Du Monde broke new ground in musical interests for me and I am honestly looking forward to hearing what these guys come up with next.”

— Laura, Live Music Australia

“ If you are looking for a unique listening experience, look no further then la Fin Absolutedu Monde as they blend several different genres to create a very unique sound that helps them stand above the crowd. Personally, I look forward to watching the band progress and build off of their success. Any future releases by La Fin Absolute du Monde are sure to be a hit and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.”

— YourMusicNews

“La Fin’s ethos: transcendence through breaking down barriers. Granted these barriers come in the form of bloody conquest if we are speaking to the movie but while pertaining to La Fin the band they fill this role by seemingly flipping the bird to traditional Pop Music tropes. Instead preferring a route by way of dichotomy. Similar to say a Nine Inch Nails or Massive Attack, La Fin Absolute du Monde relish in their icy swells and echoing distortion as much as their airy vocals and rumbling bass tones.”

— Dylan Siniscalchi , The Alternative Review

“La Fin Absolute du Monde are one of the most interesting bands I’ve come across to come out of the USA.”

— Sam Davis, Guitar Jar Magazine

“#26 on the Deli Magazine list of the top 300 Best Avant-Indie bands in San Francisco”

— The Deli, The Deli Magazine

“La Fin Absolute du Monde (French for “the absolute end of the world”) punctuate their experimental love songs with violent timbres and tone changes to call attention to how often and quickly emotions can change in relationships. There’s a lot of different elements in their dark ambient tracks that are seemingly at odds: “Cavalier”’s flickering snare strokes and jagged guitar drones bump against the vocalist’s spacey, hushed croon. But the married San Francisco duo of Jason and Cyndy Myles harmoniously weave these opposing sounds into a swayable ballad — and, despite the volatile subject matter that they explore, the two never sound faraway on “Cavalier.” “The lyrics reflect the thought processes of trying to understand human nature,” the duo says. “Because when we can understand why people do crazy things, then we can certainly accept and love more openly and honestly.” Which is refreshingly affirmative — especially for a song called “Cavalier.” ”

— Marissa G. Muller, MTV the Hive

“Who knew the Bay exported—along with hyphy, the Free Speech Movement, and the incomparable “hella,”—dark, ambient po-mo rock? Fans of the duo La Fin Absolute du Monde, that’s who. This band claims to be a happy couple, fun and friendly, but for some reason, they turn out soul-twistingly eerie sounds with track names like, “Dark Fetus Rough.” They’re currently crisscrossing the country with shows in Vegas, Missouri, and now, Minneapolis. Flyover country no more, let’s show these Best Coasters where the real music scene is at. And by that, we mean, let’s welcome them with open arms and prepare to have our musical socks blown off. Hipsterdom across the country and world are joining in praise for this totally mesmerizing duo and how fun is that name to say? We know, right. La Fin will be appearing with a handful of other local bands including indie folk Pocketful ‘A’ Change (definitely not Pocket Full of Change, in case you Google this).”

“I notice some Bjork in your music as for kinda the style. What are your music influences? Bjork haha! And Portishead and The Deftones and Chopin and Arnold Schoenberg and Massive Attack and a ton of other greats in too many different genres. Mix those musical styles with deep and dark emotions and then you have beautiful, melodic chaos.”

— Vents Magazine

“The song has an intense lead guitar and Matt Bellamy style piano transcription with ethereal vocals”

— Laura Griffin, Live Music Scene UK

“I am a huge fan of anyone who dares to be different and thinks outside of the box and La Fin Absolute du Monde tick all those boxes”

— Moses, Manger Monthly

“If I could have had this music in my life I would've won more Super Bowls. Seriously dude. Serious.”
