about

AWARDS :

Brutal Resonance Album of the Month - November 2013

REVIEWS :

"We’re Still Alive steps forward next with a steely intent and stance to its contagious croon. Like a new sculpting of the haunting invention of Trent Reznor and the chilled imagination of John Foxx, the track is another merciless majestic tempting of the senses and emotions whilst both New Sedations and Echo, the first a feisty discord drenched slice of creative bedlam and the second a ghostly smothering which induces fear and rapture, increase the drama and intrigue of the album. " - 8.5 / 10 - Ringmaster Review (ringmasterreviewintroduces.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/iioioioii-sun/)

"Sun' is an impressive album that incorporates both old and new elements of synthpop and industrial and combines them into something that still sounds original and relevant. Gurney is capable of making you dance, or taking you on a dreamlike inward journey on alternate tracks. There is a talent here that will no doubt continue to develop and deliver as he goes on." - Intravenous Magazine (www.intravenousmag.co.uk/2013/11/review-iioioioii-sun.html)

" I mean, within just a month, there has been much buzz going around about the solo project and the man behind it, Christopher Gurney, but there's damn good reason for that. The artist is amazing, and with Sun being released as soon as December, you better put some of your holiday money aside and place an order for this album. The winter is cold, but Sun will be there to warm your heart and your soul for as long as you need it." 9.5 / 10 - Brutal Resonance (www.brutalresonance.com/review/iioioioii-sun/)

"Shut out the world without and immerse yourself, lie back in the low lit room and index these ten songs precisely. This one has a penchant for inserting little details here and there in what he’s doing which I’ve grown accustomed to from only one other, Vince Clark." - Santa Sangre (santasangremagazine.wordpress.com/2013/12/08/iioioioii-sun/)

75/100 - Peek-A-Boo (www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/reviews/iioioioii-sun/)

"There’s definite charm here, with a little more time to develop Gurney sounds capable of stepping into the spotlight on the largely vacant US synthpop stage." I Die : You Die (www.idieyoudie.com/2014/01/observer-january-10th-2014/)
