'Origamibiro & The Joy of Box are part of that new breed [that] bring the best of new technologies into their sets and their sounds, enlisting looping riffs and electronic wonders and tonight they showed much of the best that such an approach can bring. Its not just guitars and beats that find themselves looped up by the trio, but the tear of paper, the flicked corner of a book and the rip of sticky tape.

And as if the plethora of sounds weren't enough, they come packed with lashings of visuals on a big screen behind them, the scope of which takes in both archive footage and live close-ups of the band themselves.'

reviews of cracked mirrors and stopped clocks

'This is a truly beautiful blend of the glitchy electronic soundscapes of the likes of fennesz with some stunning spanish and classical acoustic guitar over the top, at times the album has that kind of desert feeling of ry cooders paris texas soundtrack, a really really beautiful meeting of electronic trickery and live acoustic sounds.'

'Gone are the more angular beat contortions of Wauvenfold, Hill instead favouring a sound centred on his nylon-strung acoustic guitar and some finely spun, computer-aided audio treatments... A thoroughly beautiful listen which you'd do well to investigate without delay.'

'Straddling the middle ground somewhere between electronic and acoustic, 'Cracked Mirrors and Stopped Clocks' has a high level of intimacy and an organic quality that is contrasted and often mixed with digitally created tones and broken electronic sounds. At times the contrast is distinct but at others they compliment each other beautifully, the warmth and fragility of the guitar melodies amplified by just the right amount of discrete glitchy electronic effects.'

'Origamibiro's debut album is an absolutely beautiful journey through subtle, delicate and, above all, gloriously introspective music.'
