Blondshell

"Førstehåndsindtrykket af albummet efterlod mig umiddelbart så positiv, at jeg overvejede at give det næsten topkarakter. Men selvom det er et fremragende album, der umiddelbart hører til blandt de mere stærke debuter i år, så er mit endelige indtryk endt med at blive lidt mindre ekstatisk. For godt nok starter albummet intet mindre end fantastisk ud. Men jeg synes, at det hen mod slutningen taber en lille smule i interesseværdi, selvom niveauet aldrig bliver decideret lavt".

"The record feels thoroughly steeped in these 90s influences, evoking Gen X's generational touchstones like 'Live Through This' and 'Exile in Guyville'. However, Teitelbaum avoids sounding like a mere imitator. She isn't simply trying on an aesthetic but instead finding where her songwriting voice lies ... It is the sound of an artist finally getting to let loose and say the things that have stayed locked up inside for too long. In turn, Teitelbaum offers an exciting introduction to a talented songwriter and a thoroughly rewarding debut".

"Urgent, funny and fearless, the LA artist's debut album sees her imbue her rage with wit and fierce ambition ... Some albums devastate you with subtlety, and others bust your lip - Blondshell's superb debut album is certainly the latter ... One of the alternative rock albums of the year, and one to treasure tightly for quite some time".

"Now 25 and treading Nirvana/Hole-influenced terrain better suited to the bleed and bluster of these uncensored songs of self-empowerment, she has found her perfect skin. An agile-voiced drawler big on shoe-gazy guitars, one-word song titles, and confessions of dysfunction, Teitelbaum sings of both she and her therapist knowing her boyfriend's "a dick" ("Sepsis"), a friend damaged by watching too much HBO too young ("Joiner"), and of cleaning up her own act ("Sober Together"). Crucially (...), her frankly-articulated fears and travails (...) are sugared with heaps of indelible melody".
