"(Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations) demonstrates that there are more ways to be aggressive than to simply bludgeon the listener over the head, and that sustained low-level anxiety can be just as vicious as anything else...It could well be some lost artifact from the early 70’s, and I hope that fans of this style of music recognise this as the compliment that it is intended to be."- Stuart Wain, Astral Noizeastralnoizeuk.com/2021/06/04/review-jenn-taiga-lunar-nocturnes-and-esoteric-incantations/

"For me, Jenn Taiga is one of the ultimate musicians in the world of synth compositions. Never afraid to venture out beyond a single genre, Jenn Taiga pulls from a wide array of musical aspects to create a sound of her own. Although there is a huge amount of influence from retro synth styles, it’s the polished, modern take on electronic song writing that makes this (and other Jenn Taiga... albums) stand out. Whereas ‘Plight’ was in my Top Ten synth album of 2020, there is no doubt that ‘Lunar Nocturnes And Esoteric Incantations’ will be in my Top Ten list for 2021."- The Dungeon in Deep Spacethedungeonindeepspace.com/2021/06/23/multi-genre-synth-extraordinaire-jenn-taiga-cultivates-a-nostalgic-collection-of-deft-anthems-on-lunar-nocturnes-and-esoteric-incantations/

"From the radiant opening of "Six of Swords" to the grand finale "...As Our Offerings Rise to the Heavens," Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations offers a release that is both personal for the artist and mystical for its listener. With influences ranging from Klaus Schulze to various winter synth musicians, Jenn Taiga walks a path that is without time or discernible space."- Jonathan Karbon, Invisible Oranges:www.invisibleoranges.com/jenn-taiga-stream-interview/

"There are really two distinct sides, with Lunar Nocturnes presenting a mellower, dreamier approach, followed by the spite and aggression of Esoteric Incantations.The result is a diverse album full of surprises, entirely engaging, and full of many layers of emotion and passion. I highly recommend it!"- Hayduke, Mosh Pit Nation:www.moshpitnation.com/track-stream-jenn-taiga-king-of-swords/

"Not many albums can serve as revelation and entertainment, teacher and confidante, mystical portal and emotional rescue, yet Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations manages all this and more. Massachusetts dwelling synthesizer magic-user Jenn Taiga charts course for one of the most highly memorable musical destinations of 2021, and by that I mean the album is a world unto itself. Light and dark, welcoming and inhospitable…sometimes in the same song. A deep meditation and major statement."- Morgan Evans, Metal Riot:metalriot.com/news/band-spotlight-jenn-taiga/
