    Perhaps in time she will dig deeper, but it's an assured start. [Summer 2018, p.114]

    "Pristine", "Let's Find an Out", and "Anytime" are all really strong songs, but they aren't enough to make Lush a good album. What they do is show that Lindsey Jordan has a lot of (the dreaded) potential as a songwriter that she isn't fully realizing yet. The rest of the album is too similar in sound and style to do much besides blur together.

Songs like "Pristine" and "Heat Wave" prove that Snail Mail truly belongs in the music business. "LUSH" is a solid debut, even though it could've used some more supervising and organizing.… Full Review »

    Impressive. Her vibe on this record is amazing (I personally like “Pristine” more than any songs released this year)
