Review: www.idieyoudie.com/2016/02/dsir-wildes-crown/
"Though the template used by D/SIR feels very well-worn and trustworthy, their application of it is pleasingly adroit. On “Offering Grace” the chattering cymbal programming and distant strings provide a safe sonic counterpoint to the unnerving use of highly reverbed and pitched down voices, a common production element across the album that never seems to lose its impact. “Heir to the Peak” takes it further by using an almost identifiable vocal sample, but twisting a carnival-esque instrumental around it, albeit one that sounds like it’s being played at some irrationally downshifted tempo and through a cloud of smog that fills out the mix. These aren’t uncommon ideas for this sort of music, but D/SIR know how to apply them, and do so with subtle maker’s touch that doesn’t intrude on the listening experience." -idieyoudie
