The review was published in Progression Magazine 59th Spring 2010 edition:

 

Toronto-based Half Past Four produces art-rock along the lines of Echolyn or Izz -- Intelligently composed songs with tricky meter changeups and strong melodies.

There's something inherently sexy about a progressive rock band with a female lead vocalist, and Half Past Four has that in spades: Kyree Vibrant is the clear star of these proceedings, with a voice that can be gentle and seductive as well as strong and commanding (reference "Strangest Dream", one of the few down-tempo pieces for an example of the former, and "Missing Sevenths" for the latter).

Guitarists Constantin Necrasov and Dmitry Lesov lead the music acrobatics with fine playing. "Biel", at just past eight minutes, demonstrates the band's potential for epic arrangement and instrumental prowess to match Vibrant's charisma.

As Rabbit in the Vestibule is the group's debut, it's fair to expect even greater things next for this very promising contemporary progressive act.
