Sep 3, 2014The Montréal-based Spx, on one of the year's notable albums, sings more like she's accustomed to darkness than that she's necessarily resigned to her fate.
-
UncutAug 21, 2014Every note of this compelling album backs her up. [Sep 2014, p.72]
-
Aug 25, 2014With its smorgasbord of texture and tones, Neuroplasticity is a real contender for Canadian Album of the Year, and no one will be surprised if the Polaris shortlist calls Cold Specks’ name yet again.
-
Aug 26, 2014Neuroplasticity is a full-on rock record, though, as much as it's just a transition for Spx into something that takes a variety of musical turns.

Aug 25, 2014Despite a greater focus on musicality, tunes remain hard to come by and Neuroplasticity (named for the brain's ability to form new pathways) remains a victory of mood over songcraft, which is to say, not all that much of a triumph.
