"In its entirety Stern is by far the best work since Kong returned. The album shows a robust and determined band that is ready to take over stages in the Netherlands and far beyond."

"These tracks move and groove seamlessly, mixing so many different ideas together and really throwing musical shapes around like trails of light as they go. It's music that is not easy to categorise, you just have to follow it and go with the flow"

"Stern is an excellent release from Kong. It's more experimental in tone than most of their work, and has a wider range of mood ... at first listen-through I'd put this as one of their best"
