    Some albums devastate you with subtlety, and others bust your lip – Blondshell’s superb debut album is certainly the latter. ... One of the alternative rock albums of the year, and one to treasure tightly for quite some time.

    It is the sound of an artist finally getting to let loose and say the things that have stayed locked up inside for too long. In turn, Teitelbaum offers an exciting introduction to a talented songwriter and a thoroughly rewarding debut.

    Sabrina has created a bold body of work, exciting and unfiltered, as she navigates the highs and lows of her life up to this point.

    Now 25 and treading Nirvana/Hole-influenced terrain better suited to the bleed and luster of these uncensored songs of self-empowerment, she has found her perfect skin. [May 2023, p.94]

    It’s a testament to her songwriting skills and sensitivity that she can take potentially difficult subject matter and still make it feel both relatable and uplifting, and it’s certainly an album that serves as a reminder that there is light even in the darkest of places.

    Blondshell, rich with bitter experience and untrammelled honesty, offers a robust shelter where listeners might start to find it.

    For all of her self-flagellation, Teitelbaum is far more potent when she’s pissed off.

    Me ha encantado. Me ha retrotraído a los 90. La voz femenina que el grunge nunca tuvo. Cuanta belleza hay en su melancolía y su tristeza.

    Some Wolf Alice, some Liz Phair - a pleasant, at times dreamy, indie-pop record. Concise and instantly re-playable.

    Grows on me more and more with each listen, at first i suggest - "Olympus" with that amazing bridge that stays in my head everyday. AndGrows on me more and more with each listen, at first i suggest - "Olympus" with that amazing bridge that stays in my head everyday. And "Joiner" which needs to be embraced as a new "1979" for our generation. Come on people, this album is about perfect! Kudos to this great new songwriter, her band, and producer Yves Rothman!

    I'm getting high hopes for the month of April. First impressions are artists with so much power and potential. Blondshell, with her debutI'm getting high hopes for the month of April. First impressions are artists with so much power and potential. Blondshell, with her debut album, shows a powerful heart with bombs coming out of the music and intense feelings of incredibly personal feelings. I crave more, and hopefully we can discover Sabrina Teitelbaum is the future of melancholic, sensible and energetic screams from the heart. They joy of burning up. Expand

    Nostalgico, bueno y con una escencia de los 90 indie pero le falta poder a este disco.
