Sep 18, 2020While the warm emotionality and elegant melodicism of BREACH should earn her legions of fans, it’s the little snippets of hard-to-admit truth that are going to come to mean the most to people. It’s these moments that set her apart, and are as sure a sign as any that Fenne Lily is going to grow into an even more exciting and important artist in the years to come.
-
Sep 18, 2020Aside from some uninspired, though pretty acoustica (‘Someone Else’s Trees’, ‘Laundry And Jet Lag’), ‘BREACH’ is a stellar progression overall. Lily’s lurch to zestier compositions is a welcome divergence.
-
Sep 18, 2020It’s a raw, cathartic, but incredibly gentle record that pushes through personal boundaries, and wonderfully reiterates the fact that it’s okay to be alone (even if you’re sleeping with your “key in the door.”)

UncutSep 17, 2020Breach is an often quiet, hushed album, but its message - one of discovering happiness in solitude - comes over loud and clear. [Nov 2020, p.31]
-
Sep 17, 2020It’s refined, mature and an affirmation of the levels she could reach, on a similar path to star labelmates Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski and Japanese Breakfast.
-
MojoSep 17, 2020It's early days yet, but Fenne Lily might just be a major talent in the making. [Oct 2020, p.89]
-
Sep 17, 2020Fenne Lily’s latest record is as thoughtful and emotive as her first, confirming her as a rising star in the realm of singer/songwriters. [Aug - Oct 2020, p.86]
-
Sep 22, 2020BREACH, Lily’s first album for Dead Oceans, is a scruffier, more far-ranging record about developing a self in your twenties.
-
Sep 18, 2020Breach, is an inward-looking set of songs written during a deliberate period of isolation. Later recorded in Chicago with producer Brian Deck and Steve Albini, its slightly more expansive sound is evident on tracks like the lush "I, Nietzsche" and spiky "Alapathy."

Oct 8, 2020Dreamy. Fenne Lily has a beautiful voice; “Berlin” and “l used to hate..” great tracks. A worthy follow-up to On Hold.
