    Though many of What A Relief’s songs were written years ago, they also feel timeless.

    Able to speak her truth, ‘What A Relief’ is a valuable insight into a profound creative talent, and a gorgeous listen.

    While it doesn’t reach the soaring highs of Gavin’s work with MUNA, What a Relief offers introspective self-portraits whose sound calls back to Gavin’s youth and stories rich with the kind of empathy that’s only gained over time.

    You can’t help but to admire Gavin’s inescapably raw approach to this project. Sheer honesty is burrowed into every line, sometimes even at the cost of lyrical flow.

    At its best, the album delivers contemporary counterparts to feminist folk classics, but the good moments are often rushed through for seemingly no purpose.
