    Lovely departure from the previous two albums. An insular, furious, lush, angry, divine collection of tracks free of melody and structure. This electric entry will turn off a few of her previous fans, but others will lean into this dense and textured post-Covid howl.

    A more challenging album than inner songs, but no the worse for that. Sparser in feel, with a harsher edge. Once I got into it, excellent

    Not surprisingly, given Marhaug’s presence during the time of global crisis when it was produced, this album has a harder edge than Owens’s previous releases. [Jun 2022, p.60]

    It certainly seems like a work-in-progress, a warts-and-all steppingstone to something better yet to be realised – sadly, it's also the first time Owens has sounded like anyone other than herself.

    As thrilling as it is unexpected. [Jul 2022, p.30]
