"Make no mistake, this is epic music: not harsh but comforting of the drama and tragedy of life. This could be the sanitised soundtrack to the reality of the human existence. Powerful, darkly melodic guitars swell while deceptively peaceful riffs seem lost then let loose with huge, brief crescendos. With lumbering guitar tones, and drums that pulsate like those ripples in Jurassic Park, Orbit; Dear Beacon are certainly not on the softer side of the post-rock spectrum. "Flee! to the mammoth canopy", is Wooden Idea Production's first offering and years in the making, beautifully capturing their unique spin on the genre of post-rock. The subtle dynamic shifts and intriguing sonic juxtapositions make it Highly original and unforgettable." - Terrance, reviewz.alt.pl



"After a year-long absence, Orbit; Dear Beacon have returned with a sprawling and lush masterpiece. Their founding principle of progressive experimental rock remains the same, but the 12 months spent exploring influences and mastering their art has made such ways of working yield significantly more epic, robust sounds. Flee! to the mammoth canopy offers a more accessible, lush sweep of sound than many might think. It's varied, dazzling, huge, mournful and full of spine tingling surprises. Ultimately, they gently and sometimes apocalyptically demand that you take them on their own terms, rewarding handsomely with a journey to an Eden-like fantasy land inhabited by super intelligent mammoths fleeing to their final resting place, conjuring visions of Jim Henson's darker work." - Geoff, Post-Rockzine.
