  2. 8.0 |   Dork

    NEW Taking your life back as your own following the end of a relationship is one of the most important steps a person can take. ‘Sick Of The Blues’ is the perfect closer for an album largely about heartbreak for this very reason

  4. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    NEW There’s fury here, floods of it, but also sorrow. It’s as if Margolin stands amidst a storm, weeping while she shakes her fist at the sky, a cross between Ophelia, Eurydice, and Medea

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    NEW The album closes on the indie rock over-it anthem "Sick of the Blues," a singalong that gets the whole band involved and even breaks out a trumpet solo at the end, as if to emphasize that Margolin may be down but she's not out

  7. 8.0 |   Mojo

    NEW Opener Anybody’s declaration of fresh love duly builds with electrifying presence. There follow bare-wire examinations of audience dependency (Lavender, Raspberries) and resurgent desire (In A Dream I’m A Painting), before Sick Of The Blues provides a heartburstingly triumphant ‘choose life’ finale. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   Uncut

    NEW Sitting somewhere between alt.rock, indie-pop and a singer-songwriter album, it’s a neat balancing act that feels personal and intimate yet also sonically ambitious. Print edition only

  9. 8.0 |   DIY

    NEW A record of hard-won emotional progress
