Aug 11, 2016With nary a crack across the entire album, Bonar’s weaving of multiple indie rock subgenres--alt-country, dream pop, punk--is tight as it gets, yet she and her band consistently retain an air of restlessness across the album.

Q MagazineAug 4, 2016This is a wonderful record--involving and irresistible. [Sep 2016, p.105]
-
Aug 4, 2016Occasionally the sound can get a bit monochromatic. But co-producer/multi-instrumentalist Jacob Hanson keeps Bonar’s voice--similar to that of Britta Phillips--up front. And these songs are so powerfully melodic, it’s difficult not to get swept into the world of an artist who is more than ready for her time in the spotlight.
-
MagnetAug 11, 2016Bonar sings with a bright pop voice that creates a startling contrast to her dark, disturbing tales. [No. 134, p.55]
-
UncutAug 5, 2016Fairly conventional, but done with plenty of panache and alluring bad-girl swagger. [Sep 2016, p.69]
-

-
Aug 4, 2016The issues she covers are complex at times--“Called You Queen” recounts a problematic period partnering a gay man, “before your body betrayed you”--but “Blue Diamond Falls” closes the album on a positive note, affirming feminist possibilities that “you can be whatever you like”.
