Spool’s Out — PEND Reworks
The Quietus — October 2021
"The Iranian duo construct immense, swaggering monoliths of sound, while allowing fragile glimmers of light to poke through. The sheer diversity of approaches on PEND Reworks genuinely feels like a process of triumphant shared ownership."
Autolected
Fact Magazine — February 2019
"Temp Illusion have a defiant, psychedelic edge and Autolected — an hour long live recording split into two parts — sounds distinct, unusual and fresh. Loping from woozy noise into clipped, rhythmic electronic funk without so much as a pause for breath."
Live report — Temp-Illusion in Tehran / CTM
Resident Advisor — January 2019
"The secret to Temp Illusion’s huge appeal lay, I suspected, in their rhythms. The drums were exquisitely detailed they didn’t just hit, they flexed, bent, strained and ricocheted. Each beat left a unique texture trail behind it, gritty or airy."
SET × CTM live
Boiler Room — July 2018
"While the crowd weren’t allowed to dance at Temp Illusion’s surging IDM live set in Tehran, they whooped and swayed in their seats."
