    You might feel less tolerant of its jarring arrangements and musical whimsy were it not for the moments of melodic sweetness that surface, as on the wistful Love Is Not Love. But this is still a wonderfully disordered junkshop of a record and a pleasure to explore.

    It's defiantly idiosyncratic and at times genuinely bonkers, yet despite that, Crab Day never once feels willfully obtuse or--that dreadful work--"kooky." [May 2016, p.105]

    She lacks rhythmic ingenuity: most tracks just stump along in unaccented 4/4, the spiky riffs cycling dully over and over.
