Using muted dub, click house, and ambience, Honig has crafted a mature, unpredictable collection of meditations on the man vs. machine relationship.  This aptly named disc from downtown NYC's Ezekiel Honig is what your computer would sound like if it came to life, and instead of trying to destroy you or lull you to sleep, it just wanted to be friends and shoot the shit for a while.

Warm tech house - inviting, yet astringent - keeps you guessing, but the delivery is worth it.

I love Technolgy is Lonely! It is somehow mellow but exciting, introverted but also friendly, serious but whimsical at the same time. You can just kick back to this album and let it float over you, but it also warrants a close listen to catch Ezekiel's nuanced technical ability and complex beats. This album makes you think, but it makes you feel good, too. Technology has certainly found a friend in Ezekiel Honig.

There's an area inside the musical realm of electronics that motivates the senses in a way that is quite magical. It's that moment in time when layers shift and basslines bubble in a sea of percussive oddities. This is the sound of technology taking a break from the everyday rigmarole of daily life. When intricately lazy rhythms are fitted in an accessibly gritty-techno outfit, you begin to realize that the meat of this album is actually chilled out and resting in the backyard ready for the listener to absorb. 

Technology Is Lonely is Ezekiel Honig's debut CD-release for the newly formed New York City based Anticipate Recordings. Maneuvering its way through deep and dubby 4/4 rhythms, Honig manages to keep the funk alive and active from start to end. With a nod to artists like Sutekh and Safety Scissors, Ezekiel Honig forges a simpler approach with emotive basslines and Berlin styled minimal-techno clicks that might appeal to fans of Mille Plateaux's Clicks & Cuts series. 

Technology may certainly be the centre of today's musical onslaught of electronic releases, but it's also good to hear that Anticipate Recordings mandate is to nurture a more focused and accessible sound for the masses --balancing ambience, dub, techno and IDM in one swift 
(e)motion. As a debut CD, Technology Is Lonely marks the beginning of Honig's technological accomplishments and Anticipate's forward-thinking mission.
