"I must admit after half a dozen listens I'm still having problems getting to grips with this. There is hardly anything to latch on to.

"Well, this is not what I expected. It's less Hipster-ish and more Lilith Fair/NPR-ish. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

"One of the best indie releases of 2017. Fantastic voice, fantastic flow to the album, good lyrics and a rather interesting sound. Not just peak girlpower, but a great album through and through." Reply
