• “All the sounds manifest as shapes and colors in my mind. This album just kind of sounds like a room full of objects of different textures, pieces of things that are unclear or hard to make out as far as their identity, though you can see the shapes and feel the textures easily. It kind of reminds me of really early AI art that just looked like you were having an aneurysm, but without all the fear. I love the discomfort the music can induce at times, but it's completely benign."
• “So much of my work has this weird sense of having a profound statement but it's always out of reach. At least one that is obvious. Who knows what could be revealed in time, when high, or tired, or whatever else.”
  
• “Fire-Toolz’s blasphemous potion composed of glitchy breakcore mashed into airy new age synth sections, Marcloid howling underneath the profanity of a fretless bass guitar, decked in corpse paint and burning down a church designed by Lisa Frank. None of it should work, and yet Fire-Toolz has enjoyed a growing legion of fans and near-universal critical acclaim.” – Pitchfork 
• "Angel Marcloid is a woman of many personas. You may, in fact, have heard her music before. She’s (probably) more commonly known as Fire-Toolz, and she’s been a somewhat regular feature on Hausu Mountain. But she also has a whole host of monikers (sometimes one-use) that she uses to create music under all sorts of genres (my favourite, taken from Discogs: “␍◥☳ ⏨⍳⏨⎹⎹⍲⍝↸⏨♨♸ ☃⑆ - A one-off moniker used by Angel Marcloid aka Fire-Toolz. Electronic noise/glitch”). Here a new alias births a new album, or maybe it’s the other way around. “Yapping Portal material is composed in several stages” Marcloid explains. “There are hours of exploration and experimentation that go into it: Yapping endlessly. An open portal of expression.” Collected here as ‘Blue Fifty-Six’, Marcloid shares with us 18 sound portraits, all with varying degrees of experimentation. Easy listening this certainly isn’t, but I love an artist who isn’t afraid to get muddy. There’s suitable bonkers song titles as well. ‘Into Volo Bog ! Sapphire Slug Parliament’ is a swirling vortex of gurgling liquid static being poured down a plughole, while on ‘Web Gloss Flexible ! Infinite Blue Scroll’ a thick, heavy drone is peppered with alien bleeps and a stream of light percussion. Marcloid gets top marks for ‘Orphaned Automation Complete ! Carbonated Parroting Theory’, fizzing and crackling electronic textures so visceral they feel as though they’re dribbling out of your speakers. This won’t be for everyone, but I’ve always got time for someone who messes this intuitively with sound." - Happening Again
• Upon a casual listen, it might seem as if Marcloid is throwing sonic ideas at the wall to see what sticks, but an attentive ear reveals her care and attentiveness as a producer, where every disparate sound is held in place right where it belongs like the pieces of a multi-colored Jenga tower. – Popmatters
