Loud And Quiet
As likely to make you dance as shed a tear while you do so, this debut is full of Jacklin’s pain-pricked cut-to-the-quick flair, here somewhat intoxicated by the upbeat instrumentalism of bandmates Hughes and Brennan

The Skinny
No one can deny a solo artist who trades in "sad music with a guitar" the chance to let loose and have some fun, and on Phantastic Ferniture, Julia Jacklin is having it in spades

All Music
Phantastic Ferniture shares a certain retro spirit and thoughtfulness with Jacklin's work as a singer/songwriter, even though others are involved in the writing here, and even when it's trying not to think too much.

Q
The results are pleasantly bouncy rather than riotously fun. Print edition only
