"day is a gorgeously assembled album of colourful, melodic microsound...fashioning complex granular nano-rhythms from the rainy downpour of static that ensconces his every sonic gesture. A ravishing collection of digital compositions" [boomkat]

"hipgrave's sound is one of gentle manipulation, subtle, shimmering melody, and a lovely indistinct broken-ness...it gives it such a warmth and humanity and perfectly balances against the structures of the music." [smallfish records]

"a mix of clicks, drones, ambience and some micro electronics all tastefully crafted together into one delicious thing. it's very enjoyable indeed. in fact you may as well remove your ears and place them on a velvet cushion for the evening. it's that nice." [norman records]

"the real beauty of this music makes itself apparent in the minutiae, as heard on the flickering, micro-tonal harmonies of the second track and the energetic circuit board fizz of the first" [boomkat]

"There's a sense of drama here with layers of tone and elongated textures that open up really nicely into full-blown ten minute drones. It's that feeling of space that really makes this." [smallfish records]
