“Most obviously it establishes a space in which four distinct musical forces can explore potentialities? Collectively their experience encompasses jazz, free improvisation. Electronic noise, new music, and more; across Shelter?s nine tracks, late-night balladry rubs elbows with baleful funk and room-clearing power electronics? (Bill Meyer, The Wire)
Bill Meyer, Named #3 Jazz / Improv record of 2017 in Magnet
“Combining his recent duo work with Wooley and his powerful electronics heavy group Made to Break (which includes Stadhouders), the outcome, Shelter, is a forward thinking post-free Jazz/post punk/post rock milepost on the way to somewhere altogether new.” (Paul Acquaro, The Free Jazz Collective)
