    this is the type of music you vibe to when you're a fourteen-year-old struggling with one's self and the world around in the most superficial way possible. girl in red should stay in tumblr.

    overall: the album sounds medicore. it doesn't show the girl in red she was in 2019 / 2020. it sounds like it was rushed and half way into the album, the tracks were either skips or sounded like filler tracks. her ep's sounded like better projects than this. the only tracks i actually enjoyed were the singles and body in mind.    … Expand

    The songwriter goes on to defy social etiquette with more of her direct lyrics about sex, desire, and self-loathing on songs with titles sure to offend or at least embarrass a few parents. Ulven tests the line between potential catch phrases and potential cringes on more than a couple occasions here.

    If i could make it go quiet delivers on a great deal of that initial promise, launching Ulven in the same trajectory as her fellow former bedroom pop prodigies with new shifts in style and sound. She clearly has a lot to say and ambition to match her instinct for cinematic drama.

    Ulven’s vocals are rendered dreamily, almost inspirationally, over guitars that slash and throb in the manner of loud 1990s indie rock. Her boldness and defiance is taking on new shades.
