Feb 22, 2022Squeeze is an album like no other, and it serves as a massive statement piece from SASAMI.
-
Feb 25, 2022While the work may not always feel cohesive, SASAMI moves between these worlds with ease.
-
Feb 22, 2022SASAMI’s rich authority holds together an album that’s pulling apart at the seams.

UncutFeb 22, 2022Sasami's aim is clear: she forces you to pay attention. [Mar 2022, p.35]

The WireApr 26, 2022The dryness of the recording is key, there’s an intimacy to everything that makes even the heaviest moments (“Skin A Rat”) feel like you’re hearing them in a dead room, and the shifts in tone from the punchy (“Sorry Entertainer”) to the plangent (“The Greatest”, “Tried To Understand”) and the gorgeous chorale-like (“Feminine Water Turmoil”) remain utterly convincing thanks to Ashworth’s miraculous voice. [May 2022, p.55]

Mar 8, 2022On the canyoning, Weyes Blood-sounding brooder “Not A Love Song”, she seems to find peace within her place in a corrupted world, realising the illusion that its violence inherent can be captured or neutered. Squeeze opts to bathe and contort in it with visceral theatricality.

Feb 25, 2022It's hard to see why most of this album exists beyond letting Ashworth explore and recreate two kinds of music she obviously loves to distraction. Whether anyone should follow along on her quest is up to their tolerance for sift rock platitudes and hard rock cliches.
