May 3, 2012Despite the title, Self-Taught Learner was anything but the work of an amateur, and here Trullie is clearly the queen of her post-punk castle.
-
Apr 18, 2012Lissy's insouciant delivery and impressive range, which scales the heavens one minute and fills her boots the next, marks her out as a singer of some considerable talent, and her voice is always engaging and likable.
-
Apr 24, 2012It all sounds Trullie effortless and it wouldn't be surprising if she reached the same heights as her contemporaries with just as much ease.
-
Under The RadarMar 21, 2012An impressively versatile debut full-length that's worthy of a listen. [Mar 2012, p.87]
-
MagnetMar 20, 2012Trullie sings in a lovely alto; it's a shame to see her voice wasted on something so overwrought [opening song, "Rules we Obey]... and boring ["Madeline"]. By the time the enchanting harmonized refrain kicks in, you're probably long gone. [No. 85, p.60]
-
Apr 20, 2012It's certainly not a bad album, but for those of us who have followed Truille's career from the start, and have been waiting for this album for so long, it's a disappointing one.
-
Apr 18, 2012Like any poseur worth her salt, she can make a superficial costume seem compelling without drawing too much attention to the fact that the person inside of it may not have a whole lot to say.
-
Q MagazineMar 20, 2012As albums by models go, it's a blinder. [April 2012, p106]
-
Mar 20, 2012Lissy Trullie sounds simultaneously hungry and tepid, as if Trullie wants to make a big splash, but her album lacks the conviction or vision to make it happen.
-
Apr 11, 2012A faceless debut; a din of the same guitars, horns and urbane 20-something tropes--and lichen--as "Rules," but immobile and, sadly, ambitionless.
-
Aug 21, 2012The flair of the opening and chorus shows a promise that Trullie leaves mostly unrealized on the rest of the album.
-
Apr 27, 2012Although she retains the cool cleverness of an indie icon, this New Yorker's detached demeanour eventually ends up sounding, ahem, trullie dull.
