    It's difficult to make either narrative or poetic sense of, well, what she's on about. [Jun 2012, p.85]

    Spx's voice is a thing of wonder - rich, deep and stomach-tighteningly emotional. [Jun 2012, p.99]

    If the focus on 'I Predict A Graceful Expulsion' is sharp then its scope is overly broad, focusing in on vague sentiments that leave you fond, but never in love.

    Holland and Winter Solstice are particularly fine. But [the album] is also very much fixed in one place, and at one pace, and doesn't quite reach the consistent transcendence it aspires to

    The arrangements here, courtesy of PJ Harvey collaborator Rob Ellis, seek to relocate Spx in too elegant a vein, making her sound less singular and more assimilable. It is a shame.
