A basket of instrumental genius. - 75 or Less
With plenty of build ups, climaxes, and plateaus, they have far more character than lots of the artsy electro-noise-ambient-instrumental stuff out there. - Evil Needles
"Head! Foot! And the Pink Axe" is a compelling listen, and frankly it's hard to disguise the daring talent behind this album. - All Music Guide
Broad does not describe Stationary Odyssey. Nor does eclectic. Or bizarre. Or weird. Try fantastic, passionate, and experimental. - Smother
The brainchild of Aaron Tanner, Stationary Odyssey take their knack for avant garde druthers and merge it with a moody instrumental hybrid of syrupy psychedelic rhythms, elastic riffs, and moody retro film score like infusions. Deep and ambient enough for those liking a good sonic chill, and gritty enough to appeal to the fans of Isis and Red Sparrows, Stationary Odyssey will have the critics pulling the term post rock out of their asses but their signature sound is so ahead of it’s time that it’s more like post post rock. - Modern Fix
