    The production work by the celebrated Tucker Martine is sometimes too lush, but there are some fine songs here.

    Gentle pedal-steel weepies and shimmering, folk-rock beauty are testament to her new-found freedom. [Sep 2013, p.92]

    There are neat pedal steel guitar threads, horns, electric guitar and it's clear she is entirely comfortable with her producer, Tucker Martine.

    Fossils is not only an auspicious debut, but one that lives up to, and at times even exceeds, the promise of its potential.

    It’s a terrific and enriching listen, especially with headphones, where the singer’s supple voice and imaginative lyrics along with Martine’s sympathetic production dovetail with an effortless grace.
