    An engagingly simple and yet sophisticated third album, full of elegant melodies, shuffling percussion and bewitching Marling-esque vocals. [May 2013, p.67]

    Here on The Still Life she has begun to solidify and challenge her undoubted songwriting ability.

    In total, The Still Life is a spry and rewarding sonic balm that doesn’t outstay its welcome.

    It’s definitely a progression from her last album into a more profound and polished sound.

    While there is nothing astounding or extraordinary about The Still Life, what it does is indicate that Alessi Laurent-Marke is a songwriter and musician who already shows a real promise of creating something very special later on in her career.

    One to bask in. [May 2013, p.94]

    Laurent-Marke's facility for pleasant minor-key ruminations remain her strong suit, but the "stillness" of which she speaks all too often sounds like a stifling lack of urgency. [May 2013, p.85]
