In those six years, the band has slimmed down from a 5-piece to a 3-piece, also adding drummer (Daniel Pouliot of HORSE THE BAND and ex- SILVER SNAKES) to their ranks. This lineup has consciously taken their time in writing their 5th album. It was surely worth the wait: \u003ci\u003eSuspended in Reflections\u003c\/i\u003e is a culmination of everything the band have accomplished thus far.

The jazzy bass lines in \"Release\" and the proggy strings in \"Into the Fall\" prove that the 3-piece is not confined to any specific genre of music. The use of an Aeolian-Skinner church organ, however – an instrument with close to 1.941 pipes – woven throughout the album, is the proof that these excursions are not blind experiments, but landmarks of a sonic path that this band has carefully chosen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Ultimately, Ancestors is driven by the credo 'play the kind of music you'd want to hear,' and venturing into previously unexplored territory seems as effortlessly rote as putting a new record on the turntable.”\u003cbr\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlarm Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003c\/i\u003eInvisible White\u003ci\u003e is a surprise, but like \u003c\/i\u003eOf Sound Mind\u003ci\u003e, a welcome one.  If Ancestors’ progression has led them to this point and this is the shift they were waiting to make, their time was not misspent, and if it’s a side-step and their next full-length finds them plugged back in and buried under massive riffage, then no doubt the experience of working with this kind of material will bleed into that process as well, and for the better.\u003cbr\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Obelisk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“There is almost no concession to anything au courant or trendy now going on in rock music; indeed, one would have to reach back to hyperaccomplished, quasiclassical '70s UK prog like Egg or Henry Cow for the like.”\u003cbr\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSF Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It's always refreshing to hear a band take a huge risk with its style, and even more so when the risk pays off.
