“The duo comprises the Mazzy Star vocalist and Colm Ó Cíosóig of My Bloody Valentine — the latter taking on a name that conveys well the soft sparks of their music — though Sandoval’s vocals are the key player here. And, considering their endlessly crystalline qualities, how could it be any other way? With their third album together, Sandoval and Ó Cíosóig let her vocals ring, shading them in the many shades of gray between subtle warmth and sighing melancholy…

No song could better exemplify that pleasant familiarity than Sandoval’s duet with Kurt Vile, the sublime “Let Me Get There”. Lyrically, it’s one of many points at which Sandoval expresses time passing, as well as being in the groove, a feeling more of being held deep inside the grooves of a record rather than out on the dance floor. Their interplay is timeless, two tender-hearted, maple voices wistful and warm. Vile and Sandoval sound so perfect that you might miss the polished ’70s radio ballad backing, the soundtrack to that ideal road trip that probably doesn’t exist.” – Consequence of Sound
