"The band hasn’t lost any of its sugary rush, but seems to have added shades of grey to its Technicolor sound, making for a richer overall experience. It must be nice to have to choose between playing in two stellar bands [Voxtrot or Belaire], sort of like choosing which pair of pants to wear – one stuffed with thousand-dollar bills or the ones that give you the power to fly."

"Bursts with an entire spectrum of yellows, blues, and greens, and a kaleidoscope of textures. The future never looked brighter."
- The Austin Chronicle
"When first listening to Exploding Impacting it’s not hard to imagine a far off place where the melodies of foreign movies, twee pop, carnival rides and indie dance come into play. What is hard to imagine however is exactly how these different sounds would come together without creating a mess. Belaire succeeds, and with each listen of their new LP I find myself falling for them even more."
- The Tripwire
"The album is truly an excellent work of songwriting and fantastic production. The spectral emotional range goes from playful romanticism to the deeply reflective. The band’s sound is somewhere between’60s Brazilian Tropicalia and early’80s synth-pop taken in a new direction."
- Austinist
Floating from Brazil-funk to Italian movie scores to carnival music to Italo Disco and back again, Belaire forms an incredibly fun and addictive soundscape to get happily lost in. The quartet creates intriguing tunes that are undeniably catchy and carefree – they serve crowds completely enjoyable indie dance-pop filtered through a macabre kaleidoscope that they can’t help but dance to.
