    Another beautiful project from one of the most reliable and crucial artists out there right now, Jenn Wasner. The whole album is strong with great vocals and that lovely mix of analog and synth Wye Oak has had for a long while, and the one-two punch of "Price of Blue" and "Two" alone makes the album worth your time.

    Jen Wasner's talent and Nick Sanborn's (Sylvan Esso) production are magic. Top tracks are "Two" and "Awake for the Sunrise"

    More transformative than dour, Head of Roses is a journey toward healing and marks another strong entry in Flock of Dimes' growing catalog of work.

    Head of Roses, also Wasner’s Sub Pop debut, is her most direct record yet, full of what is definitely her clearest, most emotionally stirring work to date.

    Sanborn’s production clears space for her voice, building each song around it rather than contorting it to fit. He makes Wasner sound fully at home.
