Apr 22, 2011Everything sounds gorgeous, from Little Scream's hazy warble to the two minutes of rainfall, audible rush-hour traffic, and wind chimes that end the album. This is an absolute beast of a debut.
-
Apr 22, 2011The Golden Record is an infinitely approachable and enjoyable welcome by an artist who sounds like she's here now, for the duration.
-
May 11, 2011Overall, I can honestly say that I enjoyed Little Scream and I'm interested to see what she'll do next.
-
Apr 22, 2011The Golden Record is a hushed but exciting new album, one that delivers some brilliant moments but, perhaps more importantly, promises a bright future for Little Scream.

Jan 10, 2012As a palate-cleanser for those of us jaded on the overplay of St. Vincent or even the theatrico-folk-foray of Arcade Fire-esque energies, The Golden Record is sufficient and at its best sublime. At its worst, though, it's drifty, gossamer, and chilly.
