  1. 9.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Its dense lyricism and difficult, often Spartan arrangements do require considerable amounts of patience to crack

  2. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    A remarkable album, one which delves beneath the surface and returns with something both seductive and strange

  3. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    Listen to any Hval song long enough and its ruminative, weary side buckles, her language stretching in shape and spirit as if she’s rewritten its definition

  4. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    Her compositions are based on improvisations, in which her singing constantly pushes boundaries and changes direction; even as a vocal improviser alone, Hval is astonishing to listen to

  5. 9.0 |   The 405

  6. 8.5 |   Beats Per Minute
