Aug 11, 2025As Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You winds to a close, it feels like reading the final part of a novel that kept you hanging on its every word. No matter what Anhedonia does next, this will always be a classic chapter in her book.

Aug 19, 2025Cain’s vocals are unparalleled, as silky and unblemished as white satin ribbon. The guitars are immaculate, burning through the murk like white phosphorus work lights, leaving you seeing spots and stars. It’s another ambitious entry in an increasingly flawless discography.

Aug 6, 2025Willoughby lacks the dynamism of its predecessor, the ecstatic neon highs and chilly basement lows. That makes sense, of course, in that this is the story of a first love, a small town, quieter horrors. Seen as a whole, though, that quietness can sometimes verge on monotony, songs running into the next with little to grab onto — like an evaporating phantom.
