Mar 29, 2017Classically trained, the breadth of Ainsworth’s talent is laid bare on Darling Of The Afterglow.
-
Mar 29, 2017Ainsworth's ornate palette and attention to detail may not attract casual listeners, but those drawn to the icy yet vulnerable strangeness of acts like FKA twigs or certainly Ainsworth's first album will find a rewarding set that expands with repeat plays.
-
Mar 29, 2017Bold and stirring, Darling of the Afterglow further establishes Lydia Ainsworth as a master of arrangement and melody, and pushes her just a few more inches toward the mainstream, where a larger, captivated following surely--and deservedly--awaits.
-
Mar 29, 2017Here, it’s clear Ainsworth understands the importance of experimentation, building something familiar yet otherworldly.
-

Apr 17, 2017She hasn’t yet sorted out the particular combination of influences that fit her strengths, and few of the songs’ melodies are compelling enough to overcome the album’s strangely stale take on alternative pop.
-
Apr 20, 2017While Ainsworth is getting closer to making an impact with her sultry romanticism, she also hasn’t refused to give up that producers’ mentality that stifles her more spontaneous urges.
