Press:



"Refusing to toil in retro new wave, post-punk or yawn inducing folk
rehashes is bound to cause a bit of misunderstanding. But, when
listeners finally do come around to the towering greatness of
The Battle of Sealand, it's advised they make an earplug investment
in the process" Magnet Magazine



"unleashing a full-blown sensory assault to rival My Bloody Valentine at its loudestyou'll swear they attended Oxford in the early '90s." Jim DeRogatis/Chicago Sun Times



"The Battle of Sealand is a long playing supplement to
those (prior) brief Ep's, and as every track on it shows,
the group is capable of sustaining listeners' attention
for more than a handful of songs." Under the Radar



"This is the group's first LP, and at over an hour, it is
an ambitious affair awash with dizzing cascades of guitar
effects and a 15-minute closing track that approximates
the sound of the sun exploding and dissolving into an
angelic choirboy nocturne." The Big Takeover



"I'm glad to report that Airiel's first full length effort,
The Battle of Sealand, was well worth the wait" Losing Today



"Airiel's The Battle of Sealand (Highwheel) dishes up
churning psych-pop ala Spacemen 3, ride and their new
nephews like Darker My Love and Black angels, though this
Chicago band lays off the dark side for the most part and
swirl out a curvier crunch thats perfect for summer drives
off to nowhere in particular. CMJ



"Dynamic, genre-defying act from ambitious local label
Highwheel Records" Spin Magazine



"This Chicago band follows up a series of early EPs with
an impressive full-length of aggressive, shoegazerish
psych-rock. Walls of blistering guitars aided by dense
production give the band an immense sound, but memorable
melodies and soaring vocal harmonies ensure their songs are
more than just thrilling guitar noise." KEXP



"Is Airiel actually from Chicago? You wouldn't know it from
their sound, which leans walls of My Bloody Valentine guitars
against melodies plucked from the late-80's wave of Manchester
pop. Top it off with trippy visuals projected during their
performances and you've got a group unafraid to bring
theatricality back to the scene. Chicagoist
