    No Depression in Heaven is an achievement in heavy music, something that lifers in the subculture and visitors from more conventional spaces can grasp not because she’s reduced heavy music to its lowest common denominator but because she has found a precise avenue through which to deliver profundity with an approachable beauty.

    This album — through its stirring, stripped-back guitar music and syllabus of cultural touchpoints — limns a path to that solace, and locates it alongside the toil and trouble that underlies rock 'n' roll's still-unfolding history.

    Even more than Luminol, No Depression in Heaven builds up such a heady and consistent ambience that you can relax into it like a warm bath.

    We get the sense that everything has changed; life goes on despite this. Her lyrics carry the same sort of dull, resigned honesty, recognised all too well by those who have experienced profound loss. [Oct 2024, p.48]
