Pionears (BE) “Vince is back. Almost exactly two years ago, we threw Vince Dolphin at you. Since then, we kept it pretty silent, playing quietly his Sunday Covers, Blue and Ocean Songs on repeat. Today we’re excited to bring him back into the music realm! Next month, Vince is releasing a new album, Liquid, on his very own label: Oceaan Records. Talk soon” http://pionears.be/post/173512149776/vince-dolphin-blue-realm-vince-is-back
Pure FM - RTBF (BE) "une pop mélancolique douce et aquatique, singulière, qui prend forme autour d’une voix vocodorisée et comme susurré emmenée par des synthés lunaires et des boites à rythmes souveraines" https://www.rtbf.be/auvio/archives?pid=10245&contentType=complete
Les inrock (FR) - 15 espoirs français à voir sur scène avant tout le monde “Vince Dolphin se sent comme un poisson dans l’eau lorsqu’il s’immerge d’arpèges de synthés aquatiques, agrémentés de basses abyssales aux relans cold wave. Laissez-le ce soir-là vous entraîner avec lui dans les profondeurs de l’océan” http://lesinrocks.com/lesinrockslab/news/2016/06/15-espoirs-francais-a-voir-scene-monde/
Kiblind (FR) "Nouvelle pépite de chez AB Records, Vince Dolphin est un fan de l'eau. Ce marin d'eau douce vient de sortir son album Ocean Songs qu'on croirait composé entièrement sous l'eau. Et on prend goût à l'effet mouillé." https://www.kiblind.com/article/la-playlist-du-jeudi-2/p6a441.html
Crayon Beats (US) “Meandering around soundcloud, I came across Vince Dolphin and his cool ambient sounds. Representing Lyon, France, the solo project draws inspiration and creativity in “subaquatic softness, dolphin dances and aqua-disco airiness.” The first track I stumbled upon, “The Sunken Islands,” really caught me off guard and held my ear with its calming nature. Moving on to the second track on his soundcloud, titled “Underwater Slow Dance,” made me wish I was a mermaid at the mermaid ball. Vince Dolphin’s music is soothing yet full of energy.” http://www.crayonbeats.com/vince-dolphin/
Ambiant Exotica (GE) - About the track “Song For The Dead Whales” "The song title is declamatory and quite dramatic, the agglutinated soundscape is no different: Vince Dolphin’s subzero/subaqua hybrid is a deep and empty world, with elasticized echolots and tungsten-coated tentacles reciprocating between mis-chromosomed plankton whorls and crepuscular kelp movements. All of this, I must add, is achieved without the use of bubbles or other radiophonic workshop elements. A great feat with an almost tangible moisture"
