  1. 8.5 |   Under The Radar

    Like a lot of Lynch’s work, it stands at the precipice of blissful transformation and unknowable darkness. With Chrystabell as a formidable new ally, it’s a dimension he’s still exploring

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    While there's plenty of dreamy heartache, it's the often bewildering beauty Chrystabell and Lynch achieve on this album that makes it an artistic milestone for both of them

  4. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    The Texas singer uses experimental vocal collages set against actual Lynchian backdrops to create a uniquely off-kilter kind of evanescence

  5. 7.1 |   Beats Per Minute

    Cellophane Memories is an album whose goal is a unique sensory experience above all else

  9. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    Chrystabell’s vocals, previously the unambiguous focus of every song, are here layered, cut-up, and reversed, often to the point where they become indecipherable

  10. 6.0 |   The Independent

    ‘Twin Peaks’ creator delivers his baffling, beguiling third collaboration with Chrystabell
    Read Review

  11. 5.9 |   Paste Magazine

    The singer’s second album with the legendary filmmaker floats aimlessly with little-to-no context and almost no beats to speak about

  12. 5.0 |   The Irish Times

    These variations on the same theme are perfectly nice as background music
