“Roomful of Teeth and Michael Harrison, Just Constellations — Choral music often has the reputation for being traditional, but that’s just what Roomful of Teeth set out to change with its mind-altering tone poems. What the band has accomplished with Michael Harrison plays the perfect foil for the more direct and rhythmic The Ascendant. Just Constellations functions more as ambient music, with the eight-member choir using an impeccable chemistry and breath control to develop some immersive sound baths. In fact, the album could easily be described as ‘a capella ambience.’ Roomful of Teeth continues to succeed in its efforts to revitalize choral music for the modern age.”
