"Unclear messages and unspooled melodies break new ground for Hval, and she inhabits it with grace on The Long Sleep. It's as penetrating a work as Blood Bitch and its predecessor, Apocalypse, girl, but more humble in concept and more suspicious of its own claims. The EP's comforting antidote to confusion isn't clarity; it's ambiguity. More than any unifying theme, what ties the record together is just Hval herself-resting as she dreams up her next step".
