Jul 18, 2014Noisy yet nuanced, Electric Brick Wall delivers some of the high points of Herrema's discography.
-
MagnetJul 18, 2014It's a weirdness that works. [No. 111, p.53]
-

Q MagazineJul 8, 2014Trux obsessives will be drawn to Eve's Child--a nod to her old production alter-ego--but it's the sense of Herrema shaking off her troubled past which impresses. [Aug 2014, p.103]
