"In the World of post-rock, Hreda manage the tricky art of being both
pensive and cathartic. Their guitars have obviously had a good massage
from Steve Albini and they know how to work the hypnotic angle to a
tee. The slower sections of their set give the odd feeling of being
underwater, while the more textured blasts are akin to being brought
upwards to glide low over the ocean. No, scratch that Hreda ARE the
ocean; a large, exquisite, glistening expanse that is all too easy to
get carried away with."

"Local boys Hreda dish out some cinematic sonic landscapes, this time
featuring a cellist that thickens up the mix, but at the same time lightens
the weight of the zigzagging dueling guitars. Their songs tend to whirl
about like speedy snails trails with swelling flights of release."

"So it's back to the Trailer Park stage for another stint and its here we
discover winner of the 'surprise highlight of the weekend' prize. It comes
in the form of local band Hreda. Their instrumental post-rock sound,
grandiose like a heavier and more intricate Explosions In The Sky augmented
by the band's very own cellist is absolutely captivating. Their distorted peaks,
battling guitars and swift undulating changes of pace mean the 30-minute
set flies by far too quickly. We have discovered something special in this one."
