ETERNITY, THE STARS & YOU PRESS: " Although Dunn's compositions are so often sweeping and epic in scope, it's his ability to recover infinitesimal moments of contemplation from within his hulking compositions that reveals this album's emotional command." - exclaim! "From Here To Eternity will break your heart slowly and exquisitely as Kyle Bobby Dunn's drone meditations crack open the world." - Louder Than War "Astoundingly virtuous album. The carefully crafted production is ecstasy to my ears. It's a fascinating piece sculptured with a lushly quality sound design and formidable concept." - Holsger, AOTY "Even though it’s sad and aching, walking in step with a broken world, it embalms and comforts troubled hearts. It works through pain and heartbreak." - A Closer Listen "To try to capture the infinite on tape is a fool’s errand; what is so rewarding—so honest—about Dunn’s attempt is his willingness to look beyond his majestic vistas and stare directly into the sun." - Pitchfork "If the swollen trajectory From Here to Eternity threatens with pacific petrification, there’s a whole Weltschmerz in microcosm in the intense finale of “Eternity, the Stars & You.” It sees the numbness of Infinite Sadness cede to the peace and terror of Eternity. And the day of Dunn’s drollery done." - Igloo Magazine "The contrast between the album's lighter and darker moments is an intriguing and absorbing one, as the album feels like an impressionist and fog-obscured tour through five years of emotional peaks and valleys." - Brainwashed "Each track a boundless universe that sounds as if it spans lightyears." - Inverted Audio

The Montreal ambient musician’s albums all resemble each other in their broad strokes and abiding stillness. They are beautiful, terrifying, and bittersweet all at once.
