“With First Light, Iago Haussman, the genre-defying force behind The Spikes, delivers a record that feels less like a debut and more like the arrival of a fully realized artistic universe. He’s surpassed our wildest expectations!” — We Write About Music  

“Following “Dancing” and the chilling “Guns for the Children,” Sapling Tree cements The Spikes role as one of the most fearless experiments in alt-pop today.” — FAME Magazine  

“The Spikes’ First Light is a rare gem: unsettling yet tender, cinematic yet intimate. It doesn’t just mark a new chapter for the band—it feels like the start of something luminous rising from the dark.” — Music Crowns  

“The Spikes has always been an artist drawn to the edges. With First Light, his new album, the Italian American singer-songwriter expands on the poetic sensibility and raw mysticism that have defined his work since his days performing outlaw punk shows on the streets of Rome. — In Music  

“Behind the music lies a multidisciplinary artist fluent in cinema, poetry, and painting. Iago has turned The Spikes into more than a project; it’s an evolving persona stretching across art forms.” — New Lease Music.
