“Haunt Me is a hugely great album. Jettisoning the beats and club references of his work as Jetone, Haunt Me is a journey into abstract drones and cinematic atmosphere. The sound fits squarely with what’s happening in the laptop scene–Fennesz, Janek Schafer and Microstoria are all valid reference points–but once again, Hecker’s approach is distinct. While these tracks never comment on traditional song forms in the manner of Fennesz’ Endless Summer, they project a similar level of accessibility. The thick, meandering drones that permeate the record are shot through with seams of noise and static, but the dissonant elements are never off-putting. Haunt Me is alien, amorphous and occasionally noisy, but always welcoming.” - Mark Richardson, Pitchfork
