    Luster is less dreamy than blurry, as if her subconscious is piloting this deep-trawling ambient indie with breathy vocals submerged in waves of drone and fuzz. [Jul 2025, p.86]

    In an era of genre-less music, it’s nice to hear an album that does one thing and does it well, capturing a landscape so old it never really gets old.

    A fantastic example of world-building, Maria Somerville has create something unique and truly forward-thinking; a cryptic, ghostly song cycle, ‘Luster’ will undoubtedly rank as one of 2025’s most significant releases.
