In the last two weeks alone the album has been featured in 3 online magazines. Help spread the word and leave comments on each of these sites…

Igloo Magazine
http://igloomag.com/reviews/known-rebel-hollow-tympanik-audio

“These fully formed sonic escapades tap straight into the heart—broken up by interspersed vocal samples and crumpled digital debris—that has Known Rebel scraping the finest segments of pure emotion-packed electronics for its audience.”

Nothing But Hope and Passion
http://nothingbuthopeandpassion.com/5701/known-rebel-hollow/

“KNOWN REBEL craft their sounds into breathtaking movements of auditory emotion that build elegantly and flow into marvelous finales. Poingnant melodies, rich basslines, and lush synth measures serve as the undercurrent for wondrous atmospheres that embrace you, allowing plenty of room to breathe.”

Brutal Resonance
http://www.brutalresonance.com/viewreview.php?id=1349

“…you will become immersed in these curling compositions which feel like the soft touch of warm water on taut skin. This one is a close quarters exercise in delirious heart pounding escapism, I don’t quite know where I’m at when I listen to this and I’ll be damned if I’m going to stop.”
