This is music that deserves deep, uninterrupted listening. The music has been described elsewhere as cinematic, and it feels orchestral in both its dynamic and scope. At times it’s easy to forget that you’ve dived in to a world created by just three musicians. The fact that, of those three, only one is a traditional “rhythm section” instrument is at times quite profound.
— Julien Wilson (To Iceland! To Iceland! album liner notes)

While subtly evading expectations, Robbie Melville loads his music with a restrained melancholy conveying innocence rather than knowingness, the upshot being an unusual emotional ambiguity blending resignation and contentment.
— - John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald 2021)
There is a translucency to these compositions that is quite mesmerising. Monty Mackenzie and Gideon Brazil seemed to revel in the technical and tonal demands required to achieve the subtlety and grace demanded by Robbie Melville’s compositions. It is very apparent that the three musicians hold each other in high esteem and enjoy each others’ company. Antelodic presented this elegant, finespun music with a confidence and ease that comes from a deep understanding of, and commitment to, the music and each other.

Melbourne jazz trio Antelodic, guitar, two saxophones with occasional clarinet and flute, no rhythm section, have created a sonically daring, accessible masterpiece with the release of their debut album Quiet Sufficient.
