    Immunity is nothing if not consistent in providing Clairo's confessional lyrics and seemingly thematically detached vocals with a cushiony-soft landing. What she loses here in charm, she makes up for in lyrical depth and an enveloping sense of comfort, if drowsy melodies tend to waft by rather than stick around.

    North feels like early Beck, grungy guitar with an old-school hip-hop bump, while Sofia pairs Strokes guitar with Stereolab-style ironic Eurodisco and Impossible offers intimate confessions over baroque-pop harpsichord and shunting beats.

    Cottrill's clear songwriting focus gets bogged down with mellow, listless ballads that sound pleasant—and not much else.

    I really don’t see the hype behind this record, it’s really bland and forgettable. Clairo fails to do anything interesting vocally, as thereI really don’t see the hype behind this record, it’s really bland and forgettable. Clairo fails to do anything interesting vocally, as there is little variation to be found across her performances on this album. None of the production really stands out either, and this album is jam packed with pretty weak melodies and cord progressions (see Alewife, Impossible, North, Sofia, etc). While there is nothing offensively bad about this album, which keeps it from an even lower rating, there is too little that stands out.… Full Review »

    The definition of heart on your sleeve. Great production and lyrics, Clairo has never sounded more confident and vulnerable.
