Jun 30, 2023It’s an album that cools and shimmers its way through a delicious range of nuanced moods and subtly layered musical ideas. Delightful.
-
Jul 3, 2023Where previously The Japanese House has sometimes found itself overwhelmed by production that is a little too misty, In The End It Always Does sounds like Bain stepping into the sun.
-
Jul 10, 2023A beautiful album from a talent very much on the rise.
-
Jun 30, 2023Even if the ending is a forgone conclusion, Bain’s latest record is sharp, poignant, and often beautiful. Each play can reveal rich new details, leaving you free to explore the differing shades of Bain’s latest cycle.

Jul 3, 2023In The End It Always Does is a mixed bag, but I wouldn’t describe it as a minefield; it’s more like a diamond mine and a minefield are engaged in a land dispute. Amber Bain’s ethereal vocals and meticulously crafted melodies make this an album that I certainly recommend checking out, if only for the allure of the stronger tracks that constitute a little over half of the record.

Jun 30, 2023Bain has crafted her share of evocative ballads, but the ones on In the End tend to zap the momentum. Bain is at her best when she’s embracing a sense of playfulness, winking as subtly as she cries, sashaying between humor and hurt.
-
Jun 30, 2023But with all this exploration, the record lacks a little impact, not quite achieving the cohesion and emotional gravity of Good at Falling.
