Reviews & Press
Some kind words that I’ve collected…
General Press
“Brooding, melancholy electronica which makes me pensive, kind of like the way I feel when I listen to mum” - New Vague Reviews
“The ambient approach that The Watermark High takes to their rock is refreshing and listenable and I am in awe” - SA Rocks Blog
“…wishes The Watermark High would crawl inside my head and live there forever” – Chrisopher Khotso Olsen, Facebook fan
“The Album Leaf, Sigur Ros, Hammock and The Watermark High is the only music that can rest a tired soul. It’s everything beautiful in this world, translated to music” - Kevin van den Broek, Facebook fan
“Great music! Seems like a lot of beautiful music is coming from South Africa” - Dorena, Swedish post-rock band (Deep Elm Records)

“Absolutely beautiful” - The Siren Sound
“This release is a sensory journey…” - Matinee As Hell
“Gorgeous electronica; swirling ambience with a terrific post-rock influence…It’s blissed-out wonderment!” - Bandcamp Hunter
“…a promising collection of slow IDM electronics and chillwave melodies that I like to categorize as modern shoegaze. That being said, there is a lot of life to this release, and tracks such as “Green After So Much Blue, Was Like Music to My Eyes” will make you want to go outside and let a warm spring breeze carry you away” - Spaced City

“Every song is bursting with shimmering guitar tones, hammy synth washes and deeply earnest vocals. And they’re tuneful too.” – The Silent Ballet
