CRITIC REVIEWS

Daughter fans looking for more of their panoramic leanings will be let down, but for everybody else this is a beautifully understated mood piece and Tonra’s finest work to date, with or without the band.

Tonra has now unleashed a collection of songs both personal and subtly visceral, leaving relatable sonic imprints for the listener to contemplate.

Fully-formed, rich and incredibly affecting.

While there isn't always a tonne sonically to separate this from Tonra's day job, it must be applauded for its brutal honesty and moments of pure poetry.

The forlorn "Too Sad" is an example of a more high-contrast entry that alternates quiet piano and fuzz, but with "My Heart," Ex:Re finally disintegrates into silence.

Everything expected by a member of daughter, delivered so wonderfully, it all but eclipses any of daughter's releases.

Solid feminine breakup music for indieheads. I enjoyed it quite a bit and fully expect my score to go up with repeat listens.
Serving songs that feel cheap and generic, I did not quite enjoy this album. Translating sadness into sound is something tricky and something that requires a lot of skill. The end result feels like a first draft that needed some more finetuning, the writing and sound needed some more depth. I expected a more creative spin, like Mitski does, instead of this generic result.
