"This four piece are all about long jams and pushing their rack of pedals to the limit. The bassline starts and weaves a hypnotic trance like rhythm while layers of otherworldly sounds are added resulting in one hell of a racket. I knew this band would be good having checked out their sounds on the internet before leaving home but I didn’t know they would be this good. Fantastic!"

”Electric Eye, Scandinavians with an impressive line in Tame Impala-style psych jams. The kind of band for whom a nine-minute track would probably be considered a potential single.”

"Norwegian space rockers Electric Eye have rewritten the book on how an album should be constructed with their debut. (…) Electric Eye prove with their debut that the greater the gamble, the higher the gain. "Pick-up, Lift-off, Space, Time" may be a bit of a mouthful as far as titles go, but the contents are some of the most palatable servings of space rock that I've come across in many a year."
-Nathan Ford, The Active Listener
"(..) sounds like jagged analog electro to further tease out (or perhaps tase out with electric darts) guitar soliloquys of their own, summoned squelches and squall. You begin to understand that these Norwegian electric warriors seek out to sound like everything their name embodies."

"There is real feeling infused into the sound of Electric Eye, as if this could be what The Mahavishnu Orchestra could’ve been if it wasn’t so artsy and went for the full, bombast effect. Every element of the individual artists’ sound has its place within the grand wall-of-sound, as the listener is left to groove to the heady, uplifting jam between highly skilled and focused artists, seamlessly transitioning from one incredible soundscape to the next."
