"a rare phantasmic feat… That port in the storm-like energy feels like a constant in NIMF’s output to date. Unfurling in myriad directions, it doubles up as an invitation to drop out of the everyday in favour of tapping the wellspring of one’s mind"
BRIAN CONEY OF THE THIN AIR"It’s dizzying, fantastical, carrying your ears to spaces unexpected and delightful"
BANDCLOUD"Become swept into the magical forest-like landscape… you have entered a portal to an ancient world of otherworldly creatures, one you thought only existed in folklore and fairytales; and a deep sense of eerie unease sets in"
MUSIC'N'GEAR"whimsical dreamworld as a haven for exploring darker, heavier themes"
GORILLA VS. BEAR
