"Selten eine so kreative Albumproduktion gehört." (Rarely heard such a creative album production.) German-language review. Full album coverage.
Obscure Sound: "the strange disorientation of finally acting without being watched"
On i think i deleted it: "seamlessly alternating between a hushed spoken-word and commanding singing presence. Crunching synth tones and escalating vocal vibrancy." The IKEA closure line made it into print. On still here though: "the strange disorientation of finally acting without being watched." Called the album "stylish, melodic, and full of gripping introspection." Site founded in 2006, cited by NYT and The Guardian.
York Calling: "gut-wrenchingly dance-worthy"
"Immersive, unavoidable, and gut-wrenchingly dance-worthy." Three words that shouldn't work together but do. Full review.
SoundVille: 5 stars
5 stars. "The album about feeling fine that will absolutely destroy you." Called it "one of the most precise portraits of post-psychotherapy life that pop music has ever dared to draw." Said there's "a warmth and understanding in the electronics that is often missed in this genre." Reviewer said they'd show the album to everyone they know.
Plastic Magazine: "she builds music out of that tension"
Full track-by-track. "She builds music out of that tension, where productivity and internal noise collide." On not because it's romantic: "an utterly consuming synth pop sound." On i think i deleted it: "an engrossing voyage of brooding electronic pop." On still here though: "a dreamy finale." They reviewed system crash last year and came back for this one.
AnalogueTrash: "those hours of stillness after the club has shut"
Compared to KOMPROMAT, Robyn, ionnalee, Geneva Jacuzzi, and The Knife. On (i do): "you're left wondering whether to dance or cry." On great mother: "get ready to cry, because even as the tempo builds, your heart will slowly dissolve." Called it "more Haute & Freddy than BTS."

DISTOPIC.IT: Top Reviews 2026

Riptide Mag called it "staying in the middle"
"dans un monde obsédé par les récits de transformation, elle choisit autre chose : rester là, au milieu." On still here though: "a song like an empty field after war. Everything seems calm, almost beautiful, but the body stays on alert, unable to believe it's over. So you wait, not knowing what to do with your hands." Full french review. They nailed it.
Alsalive hears Röyksopp in the wiring
Full french-language review. Heard Röyksopp and Robyn in not because it's romantic. Chromatics in temper temper. Called the title track "a stunner both in its stylishly melodic flow and thematic lyrical enthrallment." Went through every track. The kind of review where you can tell they actually listened with the lights off.
