    Whatever passage of grief tailed Frances during Keeper of the Shepherd has now infiltrated all of her, in a labyrinth spanning thirty years, in youth now fettered with decay. And her language fills even the most meta-physical ideas with splendored visuals.

    It’s a restless record that commands attentive listening, the absolute clarity of Frances’s songwriting voice standing tall as the leaves bluster around her.

    Shards of pure folk goodness poke through the ambitious, abstract arrangements on tracks like "Life's Work" and "Surviving You". [Nov 2025, p.33]

    Nested in Tangles is so powerful because it’s about what comes after those mommy-and-daddy issues—about enduring, as she puts it in that prelude, “fault lines that were never my fault” to become something better.

    While Nestled in Tangles requires utmost attention to recognize their impact as a whole, it mainly inspires one to absorb its cleansing qualities if you look closely enough.

    The album gels and is unexpectedly airy: with its souffle-light facade and full-fat core, this is a delight. [Dec 2025, p.83]
