… transports you to a dreamy, nostalgic world… establishes an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Agora Sci 's voice, sweet and subtle, envelops you like a gentle breeze, conveying a sense of longing and hope. The production is warm, and the arrangements give the song something special, as if it were recorded on a cassette tape found in a memory box… a song to daydream, to let yourself be carried away by imagination and nostalgia.

…delivers an energetic and dynamic musical narrative, gradually building its sound as well as the emotions emerging from the vocal performance… The rawness, honesty, and strength of the song stand out, without losing an immersive, empathetic, and somewhat warm sound that will undoubtedly connect emotionally with listeners.
Agora Sci-Fi manages to blend introspection with intensity, offering an auditory experience that not only invites reflection but also resonates for its authenticity and depth. A proposal that transcends the superficial and connects with the most human struggles and emotions.

I genuinely appreciate the conceptual depth she brings to her music. Her work transcends the standard lo-fi dreamy indie rock that we occasionally feature on our blog; it conveys a meaningful message and serves as a powerful artistic expression.

…BOTH DEEPLY PERSONAL AND ALMOST ANTI-HEROIC. RUBIN DOESN’T DEMAND ATTENTION—SHE INVITES YOU IN, SOFTLY, TO A WORLD WHERE EMOTION SEEPS IN SLOWLY THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE WALLS… threads together lo-fi textures, poetic detachment, and dystopian disillusionment, delivering a track that feels like an audio diary from a cartoon soul trapped in late-stage capitalism…blurs the boundaries between music, animation, and narrative character… a woozy, distorted kind of beauty—half real, half imagined… like a flicker in a hand-drawn frame.
