"We are just here floating around in overtime, delicately dressed in a delightful drone in which we can get all our thoughts slightly numbed… but if we just focus on the flow of these radiant waves, trying to become pleasantly one with them, this future of having no future is not unpleasant at all!"

"Futures End is a beautiful layering of e-guitar drone... Building in intensity it crunches to a halt after seven and a half minutes and it's so good I return to it immediately"

"Riley’s title track in particular is proper far out and gone, streaming from the brain stem to the horizon in ecstatic gasps, the layers of overlapping motorik hum powered by pure light"

"Riley’s sound has often occupied dark, dense and cloying soundworlds. ‘Radiant Waves’ doesn’t break away from this for the most part, although it feels a little more delicate, considered and less tethered to noise for its own sake"
"a prime exponent of guitar manipulation and noise/drone handling"
"deeply resonant exploration of multi-layered tones"
