“Larsen fly high thanks to their talent in experimenting. The melodies weaved by the various instruments are captivating. Never conventional. A somber atmosphere pierced by dazzling flashes of light” – Muzzart

“OF GROG VIM is an impressive multifaceted album and when it comes to innovation Larsen is many steps ahead of other bands” – 9/10, Oxzine

“A very high-quality set based on their new album “Of Grog Vim” plus a few classics from their repertoire…Larsen has a solid but extremely cinematic sound, intense, dark but open, elegant, and they proved, if it was still needed, to be a great band by delivering a stunning concert” – Rockambula
