Mar 13, 2014In short, Night Time, My Time is stunning.
-
Nov 18, 2013By drawing on atypical influences and wearing her disillusioned heart on her sleeve, Sky Ferreira has made the pop album of the year.
-
Mar 11, 2014If a whole album could sum up my juvenile years of prepubescent chanting along to anthems in the kitchen at house parties, it would be this.
-
Oct 29, 2013Night Time, My Time succeeds in portraying her as a complex person who’s successfully discovered her own voice.
-
Oct 29, 2013Night Time, My Time isn’t the reactionarily somber anti-pop drag it could have been--instead, it’s a smart Kelly Kapowski hair-whip and loud bubblegum-crack of a record that lends itself to compulsive listening.
-
MojoMar 21, 2014The skittish energy of a Lene Lovich is still there but now that quirkiness is crossed with slices of JAMC-fuzz and dream-pop trails. [Apr 2014, p.94]
-
Mar 17, 2014It’s an all-enveloping record that puts the listener at the centre of the overwhelming intensity of Ferreira’s life these past few years – and offers a front-row seat to her wrestling back control.
-
Mar 17, 2014Her collaboration here with production wunderkind (and fellow Los Angeleno) Ariel Rechtshaid has brought her angry, grungy side to the fore. It was worth the wait.
-
Mar 13, 2014Likening her experience to fighting "the hounds of hell" may seem rich, but on the record, at least, she's arrived.
-
Mar 11, 2014The result is a debut full-length that energises, empathises and excites with every step of the way.
-
UncutMar 7, 2014There are a couple of duds, but songwriters Ariel Rechtshaid and Justin Raisen, a kind of grungy hipster take on Sweden's pop factory, still have a tremendous hit rate. [Apr 2014, p.74]
-
Q MagazineFeb 14, 2014In the US, Night Time, My Time was the most exciting pop album if 2013. It will be hard to beat this year as well. [Mar 2014, p.111]
-
MagnetDec 18, 2013Assured and assertive, Night Time, My Time plays like the darker, dirtier counterpart to fellow category-co-founders Haim. [No. 105, p.54]
-
Nov 7, 2013She’s often a bundle of insecurities, vacillating between defeat and empowerment on fraught songs like Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) and I Blame Myself. Her hooks, however, are as appealing and direct as they come.
-
Oct 31, 2013Bold, vulnerable and pleasingly disjointed, miraculously Night Time, My Time was worth the wait.
-
Oct 30, 2013[A] bracing, aggressive and surprisingly tender debut album.
-
Oct 28, 2013My Night, My Time is a pop album that’s offbeat in its self-awareness and on point with the steep hooks and expansive beats that make pop music pop.
-
Oct 28, 2013The most shocking thing about the album is how consistently good it is.
-
Oct 28, 2013Considering that Ferreira is a twenty-one-year-old major label pop artist exploring indie rock on a highly-anticipated debut, songs born of manifold frustration and uncertainty, Night Time, My Time is a defiant and assured listen.
-
Oct 31, 2013Ferreira’s artfully trashy synthpop is a little bit Ladytron austerity, a greater bit Blondie ferocity, and her songcraft is, well, rather astonishing.
-
Mar 14, 2014You get the sense that all Sky Ferreira ever really wanted was for people to listen. Here, she gives them a reason. That's truth worth discovering.
-
Nov 19, 2013It’s divided between driving, stadium-sized rock and diffuse, murkier tracks, a series of starts and stops, explosions of feeling followed by temporary calm.
-
Nov 7, 2013Ferreira is finally fully reveling in the swirling cacophony that is her sound and her life.
-
Oct 31, 2013Night Time, My Time might just be the sort of gaunt, darkly painted neurosis needed to combat popular music's deluge of silly and crude self-affirmations.
-
Oct 29, 2013Producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Usher, Vampire Weekend) channels the glitchy rave girl esthetic of the like-minded Charli XCX, but ups the scale considerably. Ferreira always manages to stay in front of the wall of sound, though, never getting lost behind it.
