reception

In the English-speaking world, Hokey Fright received medium to very positive reviews. Robert Christgau called it the second best album in 2013, and Rolling Stone named it one of the "27 best albums you haven't heard in 2013."

Intro praised the album. It was possible to combine “the beauty AND madness of both solo works in 16 tracks in the most logical and democratic way.” In the process, “a sound was created that in its density and rhythm has actually not been heard before.”
