Old flowers

"Old Flowers [er] en hæderlig og vedkommende americana-plade, som minder en om, at den amerikanske sangskat stadig kan tages seriøst ... Fire stjerner med en gigantisk pil op ... Musikken er båret af alt fra folk over alternative country og til alle akustiske indie-genrer og er drejet i de helt rigtige retrovalg, hvor der eksempelvis tit bliver brugt gammeldags stereoproduktion. Dette gør, at samtlige instrumenter er mikset ud i hver deres højtaler og lader Andrews' stemme være det absolutte midtpunkt".

"Overwhelmingly elegiac and mournful in tone, Old Flowers is heartbreaking in and of itself. It is emotional, redemptive and leaves an indelible mark on the listener. Andrews provides a raw, honest and unflinching look in the mirror of a failed relationship and finds herself; it's a story as old as time, but somehow told more achingly beautiful here".

"You'll be drawn into the artist's love life through the sheer musicality of these recordings, regardless of whether you can identify with her exact circumstances. That's the mark of an effective songwriter. Old Flowers conclusively proves that Courtney Marie Andrews has reached a difficult to attain level, showing once again that the timeworn trope of "breaking up is hard to do" can be dreadfully unsettling personally but also creatively rewarding".
