    Warm chris was a startling surprise for me. I had thoroughly enjoyed her last two albums that this was practically already expected to be a year highlight but instead this album was a difficult mostly off putting experience where the album sounded like a dry bone left out in the sun. Some songs were inoffensive whilst unfortunately even after my multiple listens a majority sounded mildlyWarm chris was a startling surprise for me.

    While she's developed her voice in the process, Designer being a shining example of how she showed her many talents with oft-kilter confidence, Warm Chris blends spontaneity and rigidity all at once.

    The fragmentation of characters, the dislocation and purposefully disruptive sense of a core musical identity on Warm Chris make this a collection of disparate songs rather than a body of work – for some this will be a boon, for others problematic.

    Like its three predecessors, Warm Chris blazes its own trail, and following along can sometimes feel like grasping at the last vestiges of a late morning dream. It's both compelling and confounding, like Harding herself.
