- NARC
“With In Standard Definition, Art d’Ecco gives us an 8k experience for a black and white world.” 4 1/2*s
- Music OMH
“Art d'Ecco makes songs that are swaggering and determined.”
- CBC 'q'
“Art d'Ecco may just be the alien star we all need”
- Wire
“an album of killer tunes ... crammed full of wit and bravado.”
- (4 ½ stars) Music OMH
“The new record by heretical futurist and ultrasonic androgyne Art d’Ecco, dips into the glam rock cauldron to produce a compellingly vivid montage of erotic joie de vivre and postmodern ennui.”
- (4 ½ stars) Music OMH
“The fog machines, slow fades and d'Ecco's sparkling threads help bolster the song's retro rock flair, which recalls the best and boldest of David Bowie and T. Rex thanks to sultry background vocals and plenty of percussive flourishes.”
- Exclaim
“... I was blown away by the authenticity of the glam rock sound that forms the core of ‘In Standard Definition’. But it’s really a lot more than just a homage to glam rock, the elements of ‘70s disco, ‘80s synth and more really add to the sound to create something well worth listening to. I asked the question earlier whether the album title would prove to be an understatement, and I can safely say that it is. Hell, this is easily 1080p quality for sure!”
- Uber Rock
“It’s a shame that a ritzy gentlemen’s club now occupies the original Soho site of Blitz, since Art d’Ecco was born to be a belle of the New Romantic ball.”
- 8/10 Uncut
"I Am The Dance Floor is a shimmering, dry-ice-strewn vision of club-ready decadance"
- 8/10 Uncut
"Desires" and "Head Rush" are punchy enough to have made the cut for Scary Monsters..."
- 8/10 Uncut
"d'Ecco has become marvellously proficient at channelling the spirits of Bowie, Bolan and Jobriath into riff-forward dance-rock numbers and In Standard Definition is irresistible...”
- 8/10 Uncut
"Matching precocious art-rock elements to that preening Marc Bolan stomp, it's reminiscent of New York Dolls in its androgynous swagger."
- Clash Magazine
“d’Ecco’s sophomore full-length plays out like the pictures between the static of idle channel surfing. Each track on In Standard Definition plays like an episode into celebrity culture.”
- Consequence of Sound
"...retro rock flair, which recalls the best and boldest of David Bowie and T. Rex"
- Exclaim!
“he has that intangible thing separating the pros from the pretenders.”
- The Georgia Straight
