“Coincidence is a record bursting with the joy of spontaneous creativity. Its long, improvised pieces never fall into a rut, and every minute of this album is delightfully different from the last. It is both an uncompromising demonstration of free and experimental spiritual jazz and a document attesting to the power of collaboration.”

Thomas Blake, KLOF Magazine


“Like galaxies of dandelion strewn across a meadow, the music of Coincidence is just… there.”

White Crate


“Within the rich dynamics Gus Tomizuka creates, listeners find themselves tuning in closely, without meaning to, to dreamlike points of starlight distilled from the small moments of simple life... Through deft playing, he creates a charming quality that is full of elasticity and unlike the studio standard.”

BIEmusic Beijing (translated)


“The tender electroacoustic songs on the debut from Gus Tomizuka strike a balance between spaciousness and dense detail.”

JJ Skolnik, Bandcamp


“...some of the most pleasing but still ultimately challenging listens around.”
