"Cover And Flood conjures an atmosphere that's instantly familiar, in much the same way as other innovators The xx and James Blake. Staying in character for the duration, she immerses the listener in her world for 50 minutes, transporting them from the mundaneness of an overcrowded 8.45am train to the dark of a high-ceilinged townhouse in the throes of night, with just a few well places strings and ethereal vocals. Or in the case of the haunting Habits, a plinky-plonky piano that someone's dead grandmother probably played. It shows the talent is there, but the Waterford lady's passion is in idea-forming, not in tidying up for any record companies that might be passing through her basement recordings. It indicates that not one sound is there by accident, it's been pored over. It proves she's an artist of the purest kind, a visionary."
