"...a dark ambient exploration of the soul, pushing new boundaries and leaving listeners questioning the heart of existence. Moonbladder impresses on a variety of levels, and letting yourself get immersed in its quiet brilliance is a delight on so many levels. This is dark music at its finest." - Two Guys Metal Reviews

"There are elements in Moonbladder, a twenty-nine minute tone poem created through the manipulation of sound, both treated, organic and played, which actively seem to welcome a shared experience with the listener that is very often lacking with material such as this […] As I listener I have not felt so included in a piece just through the act of listening for some while." - Sentinel Daily

"…Walton looks to the lesser-explored ends of his own unexpected discography. On upcoming full-length album MoonBladder, what once was a 25-minute MIDI doom metal cover of Rush’s ‘Red Barchetta’ turns into an abstract soundscape, filled with the sounds of rattling bed frames, mutated guitar solos, and a particularly stirring sung passage by Kayo Dot mastermind Toby Driver." - Decibel Magazine

"MoonBladder combines electronic and acoustic elements to create a more wondrous world. It starts with pulsating synths, expected enough considering its predecessor, before electric guitars follow the synth melody, one of a few metal-adjacent callbacks on the record. Skittering electronic beats and ghostly, faint vocals–samples of number stations as well as recorded voices–trade in and out, as do beautiful guitar and piano. At one point, there’s even some jazz drums, one of many out-of-the-ordinary items that appear momentarily and disappear without notice." - SILY

"If you like Agalloch or Walton’s early work, post-rock or blackened folk metal, you will enjoy the journey that is MoonBladder…" - The Sleeping Shaman
