  1. 10.0 |   The Arts Desk

    The melancholy air of Hope Sandoval’s new set often suggests a sultry siren from a David Lynch film fronting a 'Loaded'-era Velvet Underground

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Seven years is a long time to wait between albums, but if that's how long it takes to make the album as good as this is, then the wait was worth it

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The pace rarely rising above languorous, the lyrics resolutely wistful, with the now 50-year-old Sandoval's vocals the compelling focus across 11 drowsy, folk-rock noir essays. Print edition only

    Another supremely pleasant LP

    Until The Hunter is undoubtedly a mixed bag, but the moments that work make it a worthy listen for fans of the duo’s other work
