Jan 30, 2014[The songs are] skeletal, bittersweet and exquisitely quiet--open enough to make the most of what her cohorts could offer, firm enough to have a semi-personal punch.
-
The WireJan 30, 2014Where Shine New Lights doesn't radically deviate from TJO's design concept, but it does favour a more minimal feng shui. [Feb 2014, p.51]
-
Jan 27, 2014The album is like a gentle, sometimes terrifying solitary journey, a walk through foggy terrain with no absolute destination in mind, but one that takes the listener to places of new questions and different possibilities every time.
-
MojoJan 24, 2014[The album,] at first, seems suffused in the same late-summer glow as The Beach Boys' low-key '68 LP Friends. But this brightness soon fades, the album becoming a beautifully solitary journey into night. [Feb 2014, p.95]

Jan 24, 2014Simplistic yet perfectly arranged, these songs are quite wonderful and open the way into a dreamworld that is familiar, strange, welcoming and every so often, quite terrifying.
-
Jan 24, 2014O'Neil's certainly made her share of enrapturing, enveloping music. But I'm not sure she's ever made one quite as transportive--or, for that matter, as alive--as Where Shine New Lights.
-
Jan 24, 2014Each tone, note, or scrape here seems deliberate and purposeful without ever feeling overly controlled.

Mar 4, 2014There are runs of tunes that are almost entirely textural, which might be part of the reason it’s so easy to drift into, but are not really ones you’d chuck on a playlist.
-
Feb 14, 2014Needless to say, this album is an unorthodox work by a musical iconoclast. This is a good thing.
-
Jan 27, 2014O’Neill’s sixth sounds both settled and intensely familiar, with the sense little time has passed since 2009’s ‘A Ways Away’.
-
UncutJan 24, 2014Little is overstated, but Low fans will find much to love in "New Lights For A Sky." [Feb 2014, p.80]
