    Bruland has build her formative P.J. Harvey influences with a blurrier, chillier mix of guitars and electronics, landing somewhere bewitching between Broadcast, My Bloody Valentine and Lush. [Jan 2022, p.87]

    The result here is a compelling record that is as confident in its shiny, polished singles as in its crepuscular oddities.

    Where the haunted vocals and atmospheric production remain, it's in service of something bolder, more dynamic. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    This record is under appreciated, and her as an artist, an uncut diamond. The sound influences are apparent but still her own. But the hooksThis record is under appreciated, and her as an artist, an uncut diamond. The sound influences are apparent but still her own. But the hooks and songs are solid and mature.. the unpredictable progressions, great drumming, and thick layering are on point....still peeling those layers!

    Can wait for the next one and possibly a live show!
