Equally soothing and exciting, heartfelt and innovative, Ecstatic Arrow is Virginia Wing's finest work yet.
Ecstatic Arrow embraces a sunny disposition, but fortunately for fans of their more offbeat moments, there's plenty of "quirk" here as well.
Ecstatic Arrow is frank in its representation of the struggles of women creators, but balances its anger with miraculous joy.
Especially since hype tends to peak early in an artist’s career and then tail off, it’s a pleasure to hear a band bloom on their third record. Virginia Wing’s earlier releases could be ornery and open-ended, but the songs on Ecstatic Arrow are full of the playful pop resolve that Phoenix pull off so handsomely.
I love the production, it's so light and summer-y. The jazz elements really make this for me.
