    She soars above her previous albums My Name Is Safe in Your Mouth and Who the Power, delivering Internal Working Model just as she planned, with upped movement and rocking pulse, all while teaching us a constructive moral imperative in this new year.

    A dark, sophisticated album from an artist who continues to produce thoughtful, enthralling music of depth and beauty.

    Though it's often a slower burn than Who the Power, Internal Working Model reaffirms Moss is an artist with something to say and a distinctive way of saying it.

    Moss’ vocals and harmonisations with herself are a masterclass, supported by creative and tasteful production. Modular synthesis and glitchy-yet-organic drums are the engine of the record, the outcome being Moss’ best studio effort to date.

    She's angry, but she's trying to offer some answers too: more power to her for such positivity. [Feb 2023, p.32]
