Jan 30, 2015Not only are these songs about crushes, they feel just like one: emotionally intense, completely beautiful, and above all, fleeting.

Alternative PressSep 3, 2014It's lo-fi simplicity makes for a welcome addition to any CoCoRosie fan's collection. [Oct 2014, p.101]

Sep 11, 2014Crush Songs is a slightly strange choice for O's first full-fledged solo effort. Still, this unassuming musical diary showcases many of the best things about the music she makes on her own.

Sep 17, 2014When every song is short and recorded in the same minimalistic style, it often feels like just when you’re starting to get into a song, you’re immediately whisked away to another idea, to another moment that should have been spent finishing that first thought that now will never be finished.
