Feb 28, 2017Though it ranks among Chasny’s most gentle records, Burning the Threshold nonetheless accommodates a large supporting cast of avant-rock all stars who lend these intimately scaled songs a greater dimension.
-
UncutFeb 14, 2017The gentlest Six Organ's outing since 2005's School of The Flower, if not for the menacing rumblings in "Taken By Ascent." Even so, it's more vivid proof of Chasny's ability to create transcendental music free of psych cliches. [Mar 2017, p.39]

Feb 14, 2017A memorable addition to Chasny’s admirable body of work.

MojoFeb 14, 2017Without sounding like a faintheart, it comes as a relief that this album features a crop of high quality songs and instrumentals playing with dazzling finger-picking. [Mar 2017, p.90]

Mar 1, 2017It has a versatile feel and can easily be used for both out of body meditations and out of world journeys.

Jun 2, 2017The music on Burning the Threshold is simply good--easy and reassuring, maybe, but masterful and in many places downright gorgeous, too.

The WireJun 2, 2017Chasny’s vocals in particular, hushed and double-tracked, tend to sound like the performance of awed transport rather than awed transport itself. In that sense Threshold’s instrumental numbers--which on so many albums feel like interludes or filler--are standouts. [Mar 2017, p.54]
