"If you liked Wild Flag's debut, then you should like Ex Hex. They share Mary Timmons in common and her grrl rock is at times tighter and with more energy on "Rips" than that Wild Flag album. Each song has a groovy purpose and Ex Hex remains focused throughout."  Reply

"This one is a grower it keeps getting better. Prince uses an updated sound and has some excellent songs like Art Official Cage, Clouds, Breakdown, The Gold Standard, Breakfast Can Wait and Funknroll."  Reply

"Very delicate and spatially aware dream pop record. Perfect for lazy Sundays or just to relax after a long day. I lose myself in several songs on this album. Favorite tracks: Murmurs, Xtalk, Cavity"  Reply

"Difficult to explain why I like this. Something about its immediacy and Detroit-style rawness. Of course, the punk core stylings are nearly outdone by another 2014 favorite, Ought's More Than Any Other Day."  Reply
