"Palms are perfect, just perfect. 5/5" --Terrorizer Magazine
"For post-rock fans, the news that three-fifths of Isis collided with Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno to form Palms couldn't have been any more thrilling or the end product any more anticipated. Thankfully, the group's self-titled debut delivers." --Alternative Press
"Luxurious production." --Pitchfork (for Palms' debut)
"Palms is the slow-orbiting-rocket float of Oceanic-era Isis painted in soft colors, now with the gushing, soaring melodies." --Spin
"Palms is enchanting, mesmerizing and brilliantly constructed...the pure beauty captured by Moreno, Caxide, Harris and Meyer is absolutely stunning."--Loudwire
"Palms pulled it off with grace and power, bowling over the audience with sheets of sound. ‘Mission Sunset’ was downright breathtaking." --Spin (for Palms' live show)
"Harris doesn't take it lying down, drawing menace and beauty in equal parts from his kit." --Pitchfork (for Isis' "Wavering Radiant")
"[Aaron Harris'] ability to shuffle rhythms, patterns, and phrases at any given moment ensures he's an incredibly intriguing listen, even when the tracks aren't clocking in at radio-friendly lengths." --Modern Drummer Magazine
"['In The Absence Of Truth'] is, sticks down, one of the year's best discs, with over an hour of sophisticated, instrument- dense tunes that combine heavy guitars, trance atmospherics, clean and death-growl vocals, and tricky time signatures -- all expertly born on the muscular back of Harris." --DRUM! magazine
"Harris succeeds in spades." --Spin (for remix of The Jezabels' "Psychothearpy")
"The heavy, sludge bass line combined with overtones of angelic harmonies sounds like the vibrant oranges and milky blue swirls of a supernova." --Noisey (for remix of Puscifer's "The Weaver" )
"Isis have been regarded as one of the most critically beloved acts in metal." --Loudwire.com
