OUTSIDERS

 
 

"Anna Tivel is just one of my absolute favorite songwriters living right now...and I think this is her best record yet…Her writing on this record is at the level that Paul Simon was at when he wrote ‘The Boxer’ and ‘American Tune.’"
-NPR MUSIC-

"Tivel has many strengths and no flaws. She’s one of the finest storytellers modern folk music has to offer, with lyrics so literary that it’s tempting to think of her as a poet with an exceptional gift for playing guitar and singing."
-NO DEPRESSION-

"Tivel digs into love, loss, and the loneliness of modern life while pushing her sound beyond the boundaries of folk music by incorporating unconventional percussion, atmospheric production, and gentle ambient touches."
-BANDCAMP DAILY-

"Tivel’s seventh full-length album is a quiet, literate triumph, her delicate curving melodies framed in guitar strums, washes of keyboard sound and twitchy, glitchy beats."
-AQUARIUM DRUNKARD-

"Tivel’s folk fingerpicking and soft, compelling voice are reminiscent of Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker, and her songwriting—full of tragic figures and folks down on their luck—brings to mind Elliott Smith."
-PITCHFORK-
