"The album doesn't simply explore the abyss, it captures the golden reflections that pierce its darkness, transforming torment into a luminous and precious material. [...] The result is a deeply evocative work, an album that isn't simply listened to but experienced as a rite of passage towards beauty."
“The third act of the trilogy by confirming a flow of remarkable writing and an excellently consolidated amalgamation among the members of the ensemble."
"Proof that nothing else is needed beyond style. Straight lines, repetitive text, those perfectly crepuscular and intriguing sounds—impossible to resist."
"Bebaloncar today follows their own path, heedless of the direction taken by an underground to which they increasingly belong marginally. Love to Death'completes the journey towards a timeless new wave, ancient in form, eternal in substance."
-Gimme Danger
"It's difficult, almost impossible, to single out a couple of compositions from the ten that make up the work: so cohesive and monolithic is the introspective effort, so intense is the emotional flow."
-Buscadero n°493
"Bebaloncar's offering is increasingly autonomous, increasingly intimate and personal, increasingly distinctive.
An increasingly voluptuous sound, which, like death and love, seduces.
Like ghosts, it terrifies and attracts at the same time."
“Scanna and his band take us by the hand and lead us into territories where the line between shoegaze and modern psychedelia becomes ever thinner. Enveloping pieces, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes more restless, at times more spacious, over which two wonderful ballads stand out.” rating 8
-BlowUp n°330
"The work testifies to the growth of the band, their compositional maturity and an awareness of the musical project never touched before."
-Rockerilla n°543
“An intriguing and well-crafted album that on several occasions approaches the neo-folk movement, departing from the banality of modern music, drawing from the past while looking toward the future.”
"Third discographic chapter for the band, which has managed, over time, to build a personal, mysterious, and intriguing imagery […] the trademark remains unchanged in its splendid originality."
-Il Manifesto
"Bebaloncar marks the present indelibly. With albums of high specific gravity like Love to Death, they play at a table where, perhaps, they’re the only ones seated.
Amen, we’ll see. For now, no doubt about it — they’ve delivered one of the albums of the year." rating 85/100
-Rumore n.406
"The trio has already branded the Italian underground scene with two albums of great value that have courageously mixed elements that are little used today. [...] Again a record of great depth, originality, personality. Unmissable."
-Radiocoop
"It’s not easy to play sitting, without drums and involving the public but Bebaloncar have succeeded fully."
-Tribal Cabaret n° 10
"The Bebaloncar are confirmed unique with a proposal that, evoking dreamlike scenarios, expands unpublished and seductive as a soft velvet on the skin. Things'll never be the same with Bebaloncar."
-Giuseppe Colucci, Tribal Cabaret n°10
"Wraps the listener in an obsessive and sensual drone web. Absolutely to listen and see live."
-Buscadero n°475
"An amber creature that displays seduction skills on the front of a psych rock script with lost and sinuous contours. [...] Perturbing charm."
-Rockerilla n°523
"A work that is captivating, which unrolls atmospheres always in the balance between folk/psychedelic visions and sonic shaves (remarkable work done by Iris Martyr). [...] A record to consider for all those who know, or want to try to push themselves beyond the usual boundaries."
"Dilated sounds, overlapping guitars and cryptic voices, psychedelia and shoegaze are a starting point but the epilogue is far from obvious. [...] A game of mists, small torments and guitars that start to the tangent. [...] In its drifting, a very beautiful record." rating 88/100
-Rumore n°386
"A transcendental experience." rating 7.5
-RockHard february 2024
"An album that guides you on an imaginary axis connecting the blackened Berlin of Crime & City Solution to the optical London of Sun Dial. Envelops you in the folk plots of the most inspired Death In June and then drowns you in the criminal psychedelia of Rowland S. Howard."
-Giuseppe Colucci, Tribal Cabaret n°9
"Sound minimalism, dramatic atmospheres, solemn, dark and sick [...] and shoegaze moods are mixed in a personal and original mixture, along ten tracks. A confirmation."
-Antonio Bacciocchi
"Modern dark psychedelia that will not fail to fascinate those who will dedicate time and attention." rating 7.8
-Blow Up n°310
"A very inspired album, dark, shadowy, mysterious and sinister charm.
A jewel that shines with personality." rating 80/100
-Classic Rock magazine N 113
"Suicide Lovers is an intense, almost painful album. It is the mature record of a musician not accustomed to compromise, and it does not leave indifferent." rating 80/100
-Rumore magazine N 363
"The Bebaloncars take us by the hand to lead us on a long journey to discover the wonders or nightmares that only an imaginative mind can give birth to." rating 8
-Blow Up magazine N 288
"The most exciting record of 2022."
-Moreno Patuzzo
"A dark, intimate, sad record."
-Rockerilla magazine No 500
"A record of great charm."
-Franco Di Mauro
"A jewel that reflects opaque lights that conquer the first listening."
-Antonio Bacciocchi
"An album that is truly amazing."
