  2. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

  3. 6.4 |   Northern Transmissions

    Daughter from Hell goes in two directions—aside from a few bold moves, it still doesn’t distinguish Abrams amid a crowded field of singer-songwriters. What hell was raised?

  4. 6.2 |   Pitchfork

    Working once again with Aaron Dessner, the songwriter sticks to her signature blend of bulletproof pop and melancholic indie folk, but the few risks she takes result in her best songs yet
