Feb 21, 2012On her 4AD debut, Visions, she continues her march toward accessibility, rendering hazy, quixotic sketches into tangible, hook-heavy electro-pop.
-
Feb 8, 2012Visions is exactly what it sounds like: it's an aesthetic and conceptual vision, one utterly unique to Boucher, and it's both strange and satisfying.
-
Feb 16, 2012While Visions is unmistakably 2012 sonically in its references to R&B and hip-hop, it also fits remarkably gracefully into 4AD's impressive back catalogue of dream pop.
-
Feb 21, 2012Fresh and surprisingly accessible despite its quirks, Visions is bewitching.
-
Mar 26, 2012Visions is beautifully conceived and executed, musically, lyrically and thematically.
-
Feb 27, 2012When it works, it makes for gloriously contradictory pop--it's just a shame that the formula isn't a little more consistent.
-
Feb 1, 2012It's a bummer that Visions ended up as a fever dream of a record: unnecessarily oblique, listlessly long (48 minutes!), and painfully shapeless.
