Excerpt - “Autumn Magnets is a thickly textured opus… Their approach displays the hallmarks of a relaxed and dynamic group, playing at an easily variable pace and atmosphere, letting the songs find their own course, building and swelling for as long as necessary… Over the three lengthy compositions, changes in dynamics and color are admirably subtle, where other bands would be far less sensitive… Bury the Sound are an understated group, and they will creep into the consciousness of open minded listeners. For a willing individual, this is one EP that will pay off. It is unquestionably a grower. Autumn Magnets is a release that foreshadows something great. Plenty of buried potential is ready to be unearthed in these musicians.”

“Imagine, if you will, the somnambulant bliss of Broadcast mixed up with that distinctive Slint-style bass, the playful bossa of a throwaway Stereolab B-side and, perhaps most strikingly – a great big nod towards the glamorous-yet-underachieving shoegazers Lush” – Vinyl Vulture
