"If YouTube and SoundCloud are to be believed, most of January Sun was recorded about a year ago. But the music, to its credit, feels much older, like it was pilfered from a demo tape found at a garage sale. Every drum machine, synth and sample sounds like an antiquated preset, further blunted by the compression and hiss of a four-track cassette recorder. It could all come off as a contrived aesthetic if Kedrina hadn't written an array of passionate and charming songs. Lead single "Razrushitelniy Krug (Destructive Cycle)" borrows the beat of "Xtal" to carry its cheap digital pads and delayed vocals, the simplicity of which becomes endearing thanks to quaint, hummable hooks. The breakbeats and trance synths in "Sgoraet (Burning Down)" are well-suited to the high drama of Kedrina's singing, and "Otvechai Za Slova (Keep Your Word)" has no trouble making those same ideas feel fun and rave-ready." - Resident Advisor
