    Confidently expressing vulnerability over woozy nocturnal soundscapes to create comfort and intimacy in a lonely, quiet place, LoveLaws will be your fireside companion.

    Her talents won’t be a surprise to anyone familiar with her band, but laid bare like this, her imagination is startling and singular.

    Stepping away from her bandmates, LoveLaws is an even more personal exploration of TT’s affective talents.

    The resulting work is cracked but compelling, a real warts and all record that slaloms its way between moments of breathtaking romance and ugly reality. Occasionally its composition feels scrappy or unfinished, but this doesn’t particularly mar the experience of listening to it.

    This hypnotic blend of R&B-pop, luminous chillwave and whacked-out funk has its own piquancy. [Jul 2018, p.37]

    The more you listen, the harder is gets to place this record in a rundown of the overall Warpaint output.

    Lovelaws feels like an act of introspection that's gone too far, one that might have benefited from a breath of fresh air, a trip outside its head. [Jul 2018, p.118]

    While the soundscapes offer subtle rewards, lyrics' emotional perseverance takes a toll. [Jul 2018, p.92]

    There are echoes of Bjork (a major influence), Depeche Mode and the earlier, more melodramatic tendencies of the Cure. While that references the older aspects of Wayman’s music, there’s also an enduring, durable and somewhat ageless vibe that keeps this from feeling retro.
