‘The First Cause’ is a true epic in scope and execution, and a superb demonstration of Salli Lunn’s mastery of light and shade. Across its eight-minute runtime, it packs a true sonic and emotional punch, layering guitars into surging waves, upon which Lasse Skjold Bertelsen’s vocals ride with aplomb. ‘The First Cause’ proves a devastating follow-up to acclaimed first single ‘Parachutes Forever’ – and a fittingly awesome finale to <em>Heresy and Rite</em>.

<em>"... ‘The First Cause’ floats between a dream-pop musing and an indie balla</em><em>d - and then turns into a frenetic juggernaut that completely defies contemporary taxonomy.</em>" –<strong> No Ripcord</strong>

<em>"a debut that is alive with creative individuality. Chiming guitars over the ever shifting, twisting, pulsing, and impressive drumming… help create a maze of possible directions which prove impossible to second guess."</em> - <strong>BlogCritics</strong>
