"This truly is a great album. If anybody else has released a more impressive debut this year, I certainly have not heard it." BRAINWASHED - USA
"De tonnerre. Le grand art d’Oiseaux-Tempête, ou plutôt sa grande victoire, est de suggérer plus que surligner, de laisser la liberté à l’auditeur de relier les pointillés. Fermement conseillé à tous ceux qui ont le mal de l’amer." GONZAÏ - FR
"Simply a set that rocks. Not only is there no interest in producing a viable single, there’s no desire to adhere to a specific format. This might be considered bravery, but in this case it’s more likely that it’s a reflection of musicians who have no problem being themselves." A CLOSER LISTEN - USA
"Projet altruiste, poétique et implicitement militant, un post-rock tendu qui porte l'angoisse comme la nuée porte l'orage." NEW NOISE MAGAZINE - FR
"It’s a volatile record; explosive and unpredictable like a natural disaster at some points, pregnant with catastrophic potential at others, with each band member feeding off the others with a very direct and sensitive attitude toward collaborative consequence." ATTN:MAGAZINE - UK
"Dans une alternance de visions chaotiques et d’envolées mélodiques à la fois douces et éclatantes, Oiseaux-Tempête parcourt un paysage politique désolé, mais toujours traversé par un espoir irréductible. Un superbe premier album en forme de constat désenchanté sur notre société occidentale." MOUVEMENT - FR
