Haq - "Nocturnals" (BS020 - 2013)

Nocturnals is one of those rare albums that mixes extreme experimentation with pop beauty and actually works. A gorgeous album, and one whose timing could not be better. This is a perfect spring record. Some sun, some rain, some flowering, some cold spells. A must listen.
Simon Tucker
[Louder than War]

Gorgeous debut! Original and highly enjoyable. Have a listen!
Vito Camarretta
[Chain D.L.K.]

Haq have hatched the simply immaculate ’Nocturnals’. With ghost like delight this twelve track set is tenderly and sublimely seduced to a landscape that’s glitch glowed and immersed in an after lights out cool sophistication. Imagine a heavenly blissed out This Mortal Coil being reframed by a lo-fi glitch geared Goldfrapp. Disturbingly beautiful all said.
Mark Barton
[The Sunday Experience]

On my final run through it seemed that every song had some unique and wonderful moments but I also came to the conclusion that Haq could have produced a damn near perfect pop record but instead of choosing the easy and obvious path in a song, they repeatedly take the least expected route. It’s easy to love this album for the little slice of hazy summer sun that it is.
Kim Monaghan
[Sitting Now]

An exceptional piece of work off of a peerless label.
[Phil Vickery - In-Tune, BCFM]

Combining the spaced-out dreaminess of My Bloody Valentine with the more intelligent corners of experimental electronica, Friends of experimental sounds will be delighted by this unusual yet still very accessible foray into the unexplored regions beyond what is commonly accepted as pop music.
[DisAgreement]

From Bearsuit Records, one of the most amazing experimental albums in musical history. Sparkling glitter, textural candy mountains and supernova-sized balls of rainbow-bubble gum bursting all over the place!
[Utu Lautturi]

[Bees In My Feet] Noisy but really quite subtle and beautiful. A wonderful, wonderful sound!
[Track of the Week - Amazing Beats, Amazing Radio]

If you've had your fill of Radiohead, try these [Haq] instead. A firm favourite on the show
[Wonky Planet Network]

‘Nocturnals’ é um disco surpreendente não haja dúvida. Incansável nessa missão, atinge também o objectivo de nos hipnotizar e de nos fazer ficar com os olhos muito abertos como se estivéssemos perante uma estranha e caótica revelação. Fascinante.
[Projecto Cellophane]

Brilliant album!
[Tom Byrne - Primal Radio]

Experimental electronica that’s compelling, odd, and oddly compelling. ‘Nocturnals’ is an arresting record that will stutter and shiver its way into the psyche, whether you want it to or not.
Christopher Nosnibor
[Whisperinandhollerin]

More awesomeness!
[Tracy Perry - Expansion Of Presence Radio]

[“Poison Tree”] It's all very dense. It's Intense. Really interesting. It's got that Bearsuit Records sound to it. It's very much pop music – but it feels that its approach is almost like a classical composer would structure a piece more than a conventional pop writer...
[Club Integral Radio Show, Resonance FM]

[Haq] sound pretty amazing!
[The Smelly Flowerpot - Cambridge 105 Radio]

Great album!
[Evan Carr - The Art Of Bleep, PBSFM]
