Set as loosely connected pieces across one set, this album skillfully tells a tale of human emotion and misunderstood aches and cravings for light and warmth in a world, where there is only shade and emptiness left.

Simply calling Ashes an EDM album is a huge understatement. Illenium's songs are bursting with emotion, spirit, wonder and hope. The vocalists he works with are breathtaking. My favorite track is the Echos collaboration, Afterlife, it almost brought me to tears. The entire album is like a Vitamin C bomb for your senses. This is fine art. A triumph. Trex
Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old. solstra
If you've been craving something dark and gritty yet stylish and dancefloor-ready, this hard-edged industrial synth opus might fit the bill. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
Just had to get this on vinyl although I've been listening to this album for a couple of years already.... now it can take it rightful place beside " Endless Summer!"🧔 Knut -Thomas
