    It’s a glorious anthology of affective, brutally precise top notch electronic pop.

    Dawn Golden merges crushing emotional currents with innovative production for a debut that's bold and crisp, if somewhat harrowing in its darkest moments.

    You don't get the sense of elation one might receive for being paid to pose for an art class because to listen to Dawn Golden's debut of course, you pay them for the privilege.
