About Bermuda Drain's musical style, distinctive feeling and setting, Fernow said: "Upon a recent tour of Europe, I was constantly listening to minimal techno on headphones, driving at night through tunnels, and exhausted all of the records I had brought with me.

It can be difficult to separate this album both in its difference from Fernow's past output and from the connections that it holds to his work with Cold Cave.

"[6] At Pitchfork, Jess Harvell explained: "Bermuda Ground isn't just pleasant by contrast with Prurient's old unholy racket.

It's often actively enjoyable, albeit in a decidedly creepy way, rooted as much in familiar retro-rock moves as formless face-eating noise.

Perhaps it's down to Fernow's time playing in the decidedly more accessible and anthemic synth-pop/post-punk act Cold Cave, but Bermuda Drain is full of distortion-free keyboard, perverse disco beats, moments of beauty, even hooks.
