    Not an album for everyone, but ultimately i feel this will be one of the most unique and unorthodox singer song writer albums of the year. Very good blend of Folk, blues, Rock, experimental, and noise. Pretty much every track here is at least lightly noteworthy, maybe besides What Is It Baby?

    A trip waiting to be experienced. She'll take to new places and leave you stranded. Heavy bass and drums punctuate and pretty guitar licks swim. Carla sultry voice entices and then puts you in your place. A wild amalgam of noises all perfectly orchestrated by this master producer

    Unlike Waits of late, she works hard to not let the songs become just moody soundscapes. She doesn’t always completely achieve this, but does so enough to make this a success.

    Throughout Boy, the action recedes into a murky distance from which disembodied details reach out like the tiny malevolent creatures that hide under the staircase in your nightmares.

    If Boy falters, it's toward the end, where out of three softer focused tracks, only "Danceland" charms its way into the memory. [Mar 2014, p.53]
