Album Notes & Community Reviews

Natalie Mering's fourth album marks a critical breakthrough, seamlessly blending classic 1970s AM-radio soft rock with subtle, unsettling experimental electronics. The record features immaculate, soaring vocal performances that channel Karen Carpenter, masking deeply cynical lyricism regarding modern love and impending ecological doom. It firmly established her as a premier modern architect of vintage, orchestral folk-pop.
