    Appropriately named, Movement feels like a progression and challenge from one of the year's most exciting new voices, producers, and composers.

    Herndon really puts herself through the digital ringer on Movement, and entrusts her voice to the machine. In doing so, she’s achieved a beautiful and harrowing symbiosis worth listening to again and again.
