"Mary Gauthier is clearly telling the truth when she says that Trouble & Love is an album she made with a broken heart ... Gauthier has produced an album of haunting power but party music it most surely ain't".
"Her last album, "The Foundling", was a raw, emotional song-cycle about abandonment. So is this ... Her band is apre and empathetic, and she's a smart enough writer to avoid mawkishness and dramatics. Which just makes it grab you harder".
