"Enjoyable and inoffensive dream pop with a hint of shoegaze. First three tracks are amazing, after that it goes a bit flat. Favourites are Worth It and Dye It Red. A few duds, including Emo Song. Overall liked it, she's an exciting new artist who has also written some great EPs."  Reply

"One of my favorite jazz albums I've heard in the past few years. Every track is great, especially They Who Must Die, We Will Work (On Redefining Manhood), and 'Til The Freedom Comes Home. This is the perfect kind of album to listen to on a long drive."  Reply

"Fix My Face Aka Alt Rock with a Hefty Dose of Iggy In The Night The truth is it's AMAZING! Showcasing what a sympathetic producer (Andrew Watt) and a diehard, unapologetic lifer can achieve even at the end of his run. Fantastic production, sequencing and guest performances make it endlessly playa..."  [+]  Reply
