Concerning inadiquit
“Experimental and masterful … a showcase for what’s to come in the Bomethius discography … the most challenging album he’s produced so far.”

“Intimatitudes is a swirling Dichterliebe of regrets, heartache, and other species of despair, at once shot through with a sly, sideward wink: the Poet is performing his role, and reveling in the portrayal.”
— Zack Wallmark
