    Eve might just be her strongest yet, bold in its subtlety and intimacy, with Zedek's writing bittersweet and observational. [Sep 2016, p.81]

    Rich and resonant. [Oct 2016, p.61]

    It’s not as bleak as it may sound, though--there is freedom and catharsis in the acceptance of those human traits, a key element in Eve.

    Like all Zedek's music it leaves you reeling with questions, the perfect balance between the dead-ends of despair and the realisation that this turbid onward drift, eternally unresolved and unrequited, is perhaps our only option.

    Zedek’s voice, neither conventional nor wholly tamed, serves her ends potently, its warp and grain enhancing unvarnished solidity.

    The whole album feels like catharsis, as slow dirge-y openings give way to extended instrumental crescendo, as Zedek views from a position of calm, weathered experience, distance, the roil and mess and hurt of human existence.

    The Uzi/Live Skull/Come veteran conveys the therapeutic power of bleak yet lovely music. [Sep 2016, p.99]

    Not a career-changing collection as such but a quietly redemptive revelation that satisfyingly sustains its author’s veteran status.

    Eve is, ultimately, one of those moody, chain-smoking nights in on your Jack Jones, where only the intimate anguish of a deft alt-noisenik-turned-twisted balladeer will do. [Sep 2016, p.114]

    This time around, it's the longer tracks that hit the hardest.
