Reception
Ride the Tempo called it "a 5-track EP of gorgeous post-rock ambiance" while Echoes and Dust said "this magnificent Canadian band has crafted something extraordinary."
Geyser Music raved "Remaining true to expectations of post-rock while discovering a unique tone and personality can be challenging for any musical group. The Wax Girl has accomplished just that with Anosmic. Ephemeral and grounded, other worldly and meticulously designed, Anosmic is a treat for all post-rock aficionados."
Way Too Indie praised Anosmic and said "With a strong debut like this, I cannot wait for more. Alex’s composition for these tracks make it easy to interpret multiple stories from the album, depending on the listener, and its tales are unforgettable."
Anosmic reached #1 on CJAM-FM's Top 30 chart for the week ending September 9, 2014.
