Jul 15, 2016This is a remarkably confident, intimate and rocking debut. Grunge fans need not necessarily apply.
-
Jul 6, 2016Margaret Glaspy’s first album is a fabulous miniature, clocking in at just 34 minutes, that gets better every time you listen to it.
-
Jul 6, 2016These songs are raw and beautiful. Glaspy's voice is roughened, tremulous and hypnotic. Her guitar playing is characterful and advanced. Be sure to leave a space on those end-of-year lists.
-
Jul 6, 2016At their best, these songs share the self-scrutinizing intimacy of Elliott Smith and the imaginative melodic intonations of Joni Mitchell, two of Glaspy's most obvious influences.

UncutJul 6, 2016Her voice is every bit as great as her songs. [Aug 2016, p.76]
-
Jul 6, 2016Glaspy’s voice itself is eccentric and susceptible to emotional metamorphosis, and some of the album’s strongest moments are when her voice is abrasive in its frustration or contrition: for example the first words spat from the chorus of You and I, or the frantic bursts of urgency amongst the affable stream of the title track. Sometimes, the formula for good guitar music is a simple one.
-
Jul 6, 2016Glaspy defies easy categorization and this solid, cleverly written debut is a testament to her sense of craft.
