    At once cosmically huge and acutely personal, Zauner captures grief for the perversely intimate yet overwhelming pain it is. Long may she keep at this music thing.

    Psychopomp is an impressive work by an artist well worth watching in the future.

    Psychopomp is a 25-minute-long dream-pop album that feels like much more: a sharp-edged exploration of how loneliness and longing form into brittle personal shields.

    The album is short at under 35 minutes, but it finishes leaving us satisfied with the cocktails of electronic, garage rock and lyrical vocals that it has served up.

Every single song on this album is phenomenal. Michelle Zauner is truly one of the most talented vocalists and songwriters of the past decade. While it is only 9 songs and barely 25 minutes long, not a single second is wasted and they pack such a strong punch in its short run time.

    Κύματα αισιοδοξίας και έρωτα αντανακλούν το νόστιμο "Psychopomp" και περιμένω την ώρα που θα το ακούω με φάτσα την θάλασσα κάτω από τον καυτό ήλιο.
    Μικρό σε διάρκεια και δεν με χάλασε. Απλά το ακούς πάντα 2 φορές.
    Τα τρία πρώτα κομμάτια του δίσκου είναι και τα καλύτερα.
