Jun 1, 2016Kidsticks feels genuinely special--it’s an exciting reboot and a tantalizing hint that new strategies may be on the horizon, never a bad thing when an artist has been on the job more than two decades.
-
May 31, 2016Despite its sunny origins, there’s a shard of ice speared through Kidsticks, a frost that burns fierce as fire.
-
May 10, 2016This is an album swimming with inventiveness, quality and variety: it’s good to have her back.
-
Jul 12, 2016Orton’s music lends itself to revisiting not only because she makes well-written, polished songs, but because the possible roads that lead to Kidsticks’ universe are endless.

May 26, 2016Kidsticks swings back toward electronica; the problem is that it’s poorly done. It’s the first time she’s written on synthesizers, not guitars, and frankly it’s a mess.
