“Mixing sparse and spiky grooves, spaced out piano and ambient soundscapes with rap and spoken word, Grand Pianoramax retains an edgy improvised side to their brainy beats.” – Time Out London (UK)
“Grand Pianoramax makes most musical risks worth taking; their creative tangents are channeled into seriously seductive grooves.” – Metro London (UK)
“A fat and powerful sonic ride keeping both the head and legs equally busy.” – Mannheimer Morgen (DE)
