AllMusic

 Quadron fill out and commercialize their sound a little, but neither clutter nor compromise it, on Avalanche

Pretty Much Amazing

What Avalanche may lack in immediacy, it makes up for with the gloss and professionalism that coats each of its songs like a gossamer gown.

Pitchfork

If schlocky FM-lite pop is what you’re into, there’s lots to like on Avalanche, but it’s an album that feels hard to love. Avalanche’s obsessive squeaky cleanness keeps its audience at a distance.

PopMatters

The sound is full, with fat synths, string instruments, and horns. But the strings don’t sweep and swirl, they sigh and deflate; the horns thicken but do not punch.

one of my favourite albums of all time. i came across 'avalanche' as a 16-year-old who was very much devoted to alternative rock. this is the album that shifted my love for music, and made me fall in love with neo-soul. it's smooth, and timeless.

favourites: LFT (possibly my favourite song of all time), neverland, it's gonna get you, sea salt.
