"Like a constant steady stream of aural consciousness Curved Light’s “Vast And Infinite” is pure bliss. With a sound that feels akin to a strange combination of komische music mixed with hypnagogic pop, the songs are joyful. Optimism oozes out of every possible crevice of the sound. By choosing such a lovely style Curved Light shows a potential path forward for psychedelic, one that opts for a single yet dazzlingly effective display of texture. The sound at times feels akin to swimming through vast oceans. Quite gorgeous Curved Light additionally focuses on development in light, yet ultimately effective, ways." - Beach Sloth
"Vast & Infinite is roving, a collection of experiments that might test Tran’s focus but are otherwise easy to access, with energy and interest centered on the details of tone management. Like most competent tone-wrangling, the result can be tuned out for a stellar backdrop or just given free rein to consume whatever attention finds it." - Decoder
