    Blissful, elegant records like this do not come about by chance.

    There's a winning mix of mist and muscle on this debut. [Jul 2016, p.69]

    Fading Lines is a sustained exercise in restraint, De Graaf’s airy voice anchored by backing from assorted US indie luminaries, who provide just enough muscle without overwhelming her.
