Maria Mölder albumist "Tsihcier" (ajakiri "Aplaus", talv 2013):
Argo Vals on tõesti uskumatu atmosfäärivõlur. Kui mitmed teised luuperimuusikutest sooloesinejad katsetavad tohutu hulga instrumentide ja tehnikaga, siis Argo on küpselt keskendunud kitarrile, luuperid, sündid ja plokid on pelgalt abivahendid, võtmata kitarrilt pearolli. Hoolimata oma noorusest oleks tal justkui ammu selge, mis on tema tugev külg – meloodia ja neid ülestikku ladudes tekstuuride punumine, väikese korduste nõksuga. Ei mingeid traagelniite ega kahtlust äratavaid ebakõlasid, tema näppude alt väljub puhas Muusika.
Debüütalbum "Tsihcier" ilmus detsembris 2012. See sai nominatsiooni Eesti Muusikaauhinnad 2013-l kui "Aasta alternatiiv/indiealbum".
