  3. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    As downhome as a chicken shack and artfully haunted as a Cassandra Wilson session. Tasteful

  4. 8.0 |   The Observer

    She has grown into an engaging, singular voice

  5. 6.3 |   Paste Magazine

    Like a self-consciously boho summer album: pleasant enough for a backyard soiree and a bottle of verde, but too breezy to linger once your guests leave

  6. 6.0 |   Mojo

    It's a pleasant enough exercise, but hardly demands repeated listening. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    Largely undistinguished and samey - apart from a couple of funky, stand-out blue

The Austin duo’s hushed and unassuming double album is a capstone to their career so far, a scrapbook of moments of love and loss from a life well-lived Pitchfork

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

The pair have fully blossomed from their early DIY start, showcasing an incredible range of indie pop craftsmanship and a grounded centredness built on empathy and understanding Exclaim

Hovvdy  Hovvdy

If at times you crave for something unhinged across these 19 songs, the sonic equivalent of a psychic break to disrupt the constant temperate mood, you inevitably fall back on Martin and Taylor’s fluid warmth. Their transition into scarred adult terrain still sounds remarkably peaceful Under The Radar
