  1. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Pop, rock, some spoken word and a splash of funk for "Chip On Your Shoulder" give a sense of the musical flavours which marry with the insightful, intelligent songwriting on this hugely entertaining album

  2. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    This long player doesn’t disappoint at all, in fact, I would go as far as to say the record is without one fault anywhere. The Anchoress can only get better and better

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Theatrical swishes of piano, mellotron, guitars and percussion back her powerful, red velvet voice. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It is hard to believe there will be many more interesting, or better, debut albums in 2016

  5. 7.0 |   Clash

  6. 7.0 |   Gig Soup

    Piano-laced anti-ballads, spiralling progressive rock and downright catchy pop all play a part on a debut album which is a mammoth piece of work

  7. 6.0 |   Q

    Hyper-literary but radio friendly debut. Print edition only

    Attitudinal rock with a vaguely prog aesthetic and baroque flourishes. Print edition only

    A rich and complex debut
