Side effects:

"The most original music being done right now. I don’t know how they make the “music” that they do." –Michael Vitrano, Upstate Soundscape (2012)

"I’ve decided to maybe never listen to this disk again. Once reviewed I might just leave it between other records waiting with extreme patience for rotation, and chances are that that never may happen. Typical as with many other recordings is that with every listen more and more details are revealed but with that also the magic of the very first impressions start to disintegrate and with Holes/Tract I’d like to hold on and remember some of this first encounter." –Pim van der Graaf, Progress Report (2012)

"I find their work inspiring – hard to pigeonhole, contemporary without playing to fashionable idioms, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. [...] Holes/Tract succeeds in contributing a dash of meaningful originality to the ever expanding field of new experimental music." –James Wyness, Fouter & Swick (2012)

"Holes/Tract slowly reveals a delicate narrative character that compellingly evolves rewarding the listener with a very powerful experience." –John McEnroe, The Field Reporter (2012)

"There is still something intriguing and oddly listenable in what at times comes across as an alien sound world, intelligible to someone or something if not to you – like trying to follow a game when you don’t know the rules, or listening to a conversation in a language you don’t speak." –Nathan Thomas, Fluid Radio (2012)

"On Holes/Tract, the music is almost subliminal, more suggested than stated." –Paris Transatlantic (2012)

"It’s all very attractive, if utterly stark. […] absolutely exquisite. The maturity and restraint on display here suggests a group with decades of activity behind it, rather than a pair of artists at the beginning of their careers." –William Hutson, The Wire – Issue 342 (2012)

"Coppice make lovely music. […] nothing here sounds like a happy accident. Holes/Tract is also a tough one to pigeonhole.“ –Richard Pinnell, The Watchful Ear (2012)

“It an agreeable and yummy mix of sounds, generally, the reedy drones of the mini-organ (along with, I think, other extended sounds derived therefrom) bump up against the electronics, the latter often clunky and pleasingly awkward.” –Brian Olewnick, Just Outside (2012)

"It may seem negative to say that something sounds salvaged, but it’s a testament to how easily Coppice’s music allows the imagination to probe for the secrets behind it. In reality, this isn’t some one-in-a-million "found sound" record, but one derived from two hard working musicians who perform their art live, as cumbersome as it might be to do so, and as challenging as it might be for their audience to interpret.” –Adrian Dziewanski, Dusted Magazine (2012)

“Un album dur d’écoute, hors de toute esthétique et qui semble extérieur à toute norme et à tout langage musical. [Holes/Tract] immerge l’auditeur dans des profondeurs soniques acoustiques abstraites et non-musicales souvent, mais tout de même poétiques et envoutantes. Car Coppice semble raconter une histoire, un fil narratif semble conduire ces quatre pièces, mais il s’agit bien évidemment d’une histoire purement sonore, où les rebondissements se font par modulations d’intensité, par évolution de textures. Coppice nous narre une histoire peut-être irrationnelle, en tout cas extérieure aux codes esthétiques préétablis, mais une histoire qui vaut le coup pour sa singularité, pour l’originalité du langage qu’elle met en place, mais également pour sa structure souvent surprenante. Une musique extraterrestre, qui ne semble pas produite sur la même planète, qui semble surgir d’une nouvelle espèce, une espèce dotée d’une perception extrêmement aiguisée, sensible et poétique du son.” –Julien Héraud, Improv Sphere (2012)
