Sep 24, 2013It's the work of an artist at the absolute top of her game, and as a result, Herein Wild ranks as one of the best, most inspired and inspiring, albums of 2013.
-
Q MagazineNov 25, 2013It's stylistically close to 2012's excellent Interstellar, but on this form, too much of a good thing just isn't possible. [Dec 2013, p.112]
-
Nov 15, 2013For the time being, Herein Wild skies above us and we owe it to ourselves to try and give it a reach and let us take it wherever it wants to take us.
-
Oct 1, 2013This is a real treat from a rapidly evolving artist and one of the year’s most purely pleasurable albums.
-
Sep 24, 2013Ms. Rose’s pop confections aren’t simple escapes.
-
Oct 1, 2013Her sonic advancement doesn’t smack you in the chops are much as it did on Interstellar, but there’s notable alterations and plenty of reasons to love it regardless.
-
Sep 27, 2013It's her relentless musical alchemy that anchors the album, which finally finds Rose being herself, rather than attempting to sound like someone else.
-
Under The RadarOct 1, 2013Herein Wild is a nice record, skillfully executed, but it's essentially the aural equivalent of living in a padded cell: so soft and secure you find yourself yearning for some harsh everyday reality. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.94]
-
Sep 24, 2013It might be subject to less scrutiny had it not followed Interstellar, but then again, it might not be subject to scrutiny at all, and simply filed away with any other competent and unexceptional dream-pop.
-
Jan 13, 2014In the grand scheme of things this is not epochal work. In the world of rock ‘n’ roll this is to the Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen as Chausson or Bridge were to Wagner or Mahler. But those lighter composers had their charms and pleasures, and with Herein Wild so does Frankie Rose.
-
Oct 31, 2013Except for the dissonant pep of Heaven, Rose’s careful vocals float among bittersweet synths for 37 minutes of dreamy Cure- and Bangles-evoking pop.
-
MojoOct 16, 2013Pop, but still an album for reflection. [Nov 2013, p.89]
-
UncutOct 16, 2013For the most part, it's an effective addition.... The only real snag here is Rose's voice, which sometimes sounds so detached as to be barely present. [Nov 2013, p.78]
-
Sep 24, 2013Frankie Rose still has great instincts of where her music should be going. She just has to trust them more.
-
Sep 25, 2013Those pop songs, [not the ones on Herein Wild,] confess everything and never apologize. Herein Wild just disappears.
