“Sharing members with Swedish psych-rock monsters Dungen, the Amazing have a similar reverence for the music of the past. But their mix of folk and psych has more going for it than just retro pastiche.” - Marc Hogan, Pitchfork

“The Amazing’s summer memories seem to stretch back a good few decades. This young bunch of Swedes make music that sounds like the Sixties never ended. There are echoes of CSNY, Yes and Jethro Tull everywhere, balancing against a soft, pretty Nick Drake feeling that’s just as tangible. With prog moodiness and pastoral folkiness both hanging heavily over The Amazing, it’s the more psychedelic edges that twirl around the songs, dragging them into tangled and weird territory, that makes Gentle Stream occasionally exceptional.” - Els, Drowned in Sound
