"Sit back and let Posthuman's perfect storm of buzzes, beats, voices, and post-rock instrumentation wash over you."
XLR8R
"...This album is an odyssey to the depths of darkness, a journey that results in an arrival at a new black light without shadows --taking all its elements, the sorrow, the sadness, and somehow turns them on their head. Subjectivity and objectivity melt, only a sound remains..."

"haunting voices and ghostlike soundscapes
hang like veils over the tracks on their third album. Music for the
darkest of dungeons."
RIF-RAF MAGAZINE
"An excellent third album offering from Posthuman... incorporating post-rock guitar elements into their productions with a level of adeptness missed by many similar outfits; indeed much of ‘The Peoples Republic’ succeeds beautifully because the electronics and guitars respectively compliment, rather than dominate each other"

"Posthuman deliver their most impressive piece of work to date"
SMALLFISH
"Record of the week"
POKE RECORDS
"a multifaceted album that seemlessly blends the duo's influences and now extensive live experience, into an amalgam of studio trickery and live instrumentation that is dark, moody and very warm"
PHONICA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A massive departure from previous outings, this album sees the cousins team up with old friends Tom Brady on guitars and Lukas Wooller (of Maximo Park) on keyboards, as they explore the undefinable place between post-rock and electronics, with shattered guitars and primal rhythms held together with melancholic synthesis and ethereal vocals. A darker, stronger, and more serious album than 'Lagrange Point' or 'The Uncertainty of the Monkey' this heralds a massive step forward for the duo, and is set to be followed with a full-band series of live shows.
