BBC
This debut is a joy from beginning to end, a fully-formed talent at the first attempt – as rare as it is welcome.

THE LINE OF BEST FIT
When we talk about records fit for summer, we mean one that evokes lazy, crazy days of warm sun by means of unhurried ease and glorious melody. Allo Darlin’ certainly do all that. Get it home, though, and there’s just as much to admire in the smart lyrical touch that belies any sort of scene connotations, a fine romance borne from catching hold of the little things.
