"I wrote that his previous album was magnificent – this is better. Time to put the superlatives to one side – you need this record"
Jeremy Bye, A CLOSER LISTEN

"Witxes continue d'explorer les textures, réussissant encore une à fois à marier instruments acoustiques et sonorités abstraites pour un rendu fascinant."
NOISE MAGAZINE

"A Fabric of Beliefs exhibits the confidence of uncovered purpose, channelling Maxime Vavasseur's mournful dystopian atmosphere into everything from raucous shoegaze to hand-clapped rituals, while retaining the debut's backdrop of gushing, melted-down electronics"
ROCK-A-ROLLA MAGAZINE

"Fenomenale"
ONDA ROCK

"In this nocturnal sonic mosaic, fragments of post-rock, jazz, metal and classical music radiate, however, they are poured in small dosages and put together in such a mysterious way resulting in something esoteric"
IGLOO MAG

"Douze segments dévots qui s'incarnent également sous la forme d'une seule plage démente, minutieuse, témoignant combien la passion est de retour au cœur de la musique"
ELECTRIC SKIES

"If it all seems perfectly in place here, then that's because defying predictability and confounding expectations is the only definition of ambient A Fabric of Beliefs would ever subscribe to"
TOKAFI

"Much more aggressive than their debut, Witxes sounds quite confident in their new refined approach"
BEACH SLOTH

"Verstörend und schön zugleich"
DE:BUG

"A Fabric of Beliefs is a record that I hope to fully understand one day. What I have absorbed is nothing short of revolutionary in the context of how music is constructed and what genre types fit well in the presence of one another."
SOUND COLOUR VIBRATION

"It’s a listener’s album, a very good one, and one that flits effortlessly between different styles without sounding stretched. Bravo, once more"
EVENING OF LIGHT

"Un disque de très, très grande classe, et à n’en pas douter l’un des tout meilleurs albums de cette année"
AMPLY

"Another strong fea(s)t"
