    Probably the most lovely indie/psych folk record of 2015 so far. Simple, but fleshed out songs that take you on a journey. Easily the best thing she's done since Espers II. Timeless vocals, subtle and bewitching sings. Love this so much.

    This is one of the most beautiful albums you’ll hear this year or any other, speaking softly but resonating deeply and long after the last sounds fade away.

    It's all beautifully crafted, though very sad. [No. 122, p.53]

    These songs aren't as charcoal-stark as her earlier solo work, but the aura of breathy acid-folk enchantment can leave the feeling there is too much atmospheric smoke, not enough revelatory mirror. [Aug 2015, p.104]
