“8/10. The Spontaneous Splendid sets itself as a beautifully warm and endearing listen. Creating this subtle mix of grizzled atmospheres and a more alluring presence from start to finish, this new ten-track collection takes us on a journey into the deepest depths of their dynamic sound — proving that Washing Machina are still very much on top of their creative game.”
Mystic Sons
“For a debut album, The Spontaneous Splendid does its job very well in representing what Washing Machina is about, with sweet and syrupy guitar melodies and high-spirited vocals that get you feeling carefree.”
Illustrate Magazine
“One of those alternative rock albums that will become your instant favorite. Soundwise, Washing Machina embraces many different but complementary music genres — alternative rock, noise rock, grunge, garage rock, shoegaze — to illustrate rich and luxurious sonic imagery.”
