Apr 23, 201340More a series of half-drawn soundscapes than actual songs per se, No Elephants comes across as an exercise in the abstract, in which the artist makes almost no attempt to color inside the outlines.
-
Mar 8, 201360Admirable as the craft on display on No Elephants may be, as a listening experience the album is often hard to enjoy.

Feb 20, 201376As a stepping stone forward and backward, No Elephants preserves her musical legacy while subtly altering her own approach to these sounds.

Feb 13, 201363The samples and some of the lyrics feel a little too controlled, on-message, and conceptual, which is unusual since her songs often tease out the dark emotion in mundane, everyday moments. As a result, No Elephants often feels hermetic and occasionally impenetrably austere.

Feb 11, 201360[Her high-pitched vocals] restricts her melodies a bit too much for their own good, and some more dynamic performances near the album's end can't save it from fading in a poof of uneasy effervescence. [No. 95, p.55]
