Pitchfork Media | (7.5/10)[3] |
In their review of Dark Pool,
Pitchfork Media said the "songs at album’s center are the most visceral" and "throughout, the productions of Argabright and Shimokawa move deep into queasy dark ambient territory, yet there’s a noir-ish, cinematic sense pervading every track[3] The Quietus also commended the album, saying "standing on the previous work of Black Rain, Dark Pool reads as an evolution rather that a sudden jump to the present, and smart sequencing increases the overall effectiveness of the music to lend a narrative feel to the album."[5]
