Critical reception
[edit | edit source]
Dave Segal of XLR8R commented that Talk Amongst the Trees "conjures an expansive pathos with a minimalist's economy of means."[11] Jean-Pierre of Tiny Mix Tapes praised Eluvium's "mastery of melodies and loops" on the album.[10] Rob Theakston of AllMusic commented that "This is not just a release for post-rock, experimental, ambient or electronic fans."[5] He added, "This is a release for everyone who simply likes honest, well-crafted music."[5] Tim O'Neil of PopMatters stated, "If you entertain any affection at all for the airy, numinous realms of abstract sound, this might just be your new favorite record."[8]
