  1. 10.0 |   NME

    Breathtaking vocal harmonies, razor-sharp lyrical edge and delicate darkness set this Melbourne band apart

  2. 9.0 |   All Music

    It's an album where small differences like subtle changes in instrumentation, the appearance of the relatively livelier "The Actor," and the a cappella hymn "I'll Find a Way" carry almost showstopping weight because the album was already so beguiling

  3. 9.0 |   Spill Magazine

    When Folk Bitch Trio came up with such distinguished, mature music so early on, what should we expect from them next, then?

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    An exquisite, arresting introduction. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Uncut

  8. 8.0 |   XS Noize

    A remarkable debut: emotionally intelligent, sonically adventurous, and powered by some of the finest vocal work you’ll hear this year

  9. 8.0 |   Dork

    It does exactly what a debut should: it’s an introduction to what Folk Bitch Trio are all about. Unapologetic in every sense, there’s little doubt that they’re destined for big things

    Ultimately, your mileage may vary with Now Would be a Good Time, its sound either fresh…or a bit worn-out

  11. 6.8 |   Spectrum Culture

    Folk Bitch Trio’s music is raw, beautiful, and lyrically smart, yet lacks enough sonic variation to be as compelling as it truly deserves
