ALBUM REVIEWS
TRUE LOVE (2018)
4/5 from The Evening Standard:
'Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack is the obvious inspiration behind these ethereal soundscapes... "A Sign" and "Hook You Up" are glorious pop songs in their own right, while Hatherley’s yearning vocals ensure that even the most robotic moments retain a compelling human core.
Electronic Sound magazine:
'This is an album easy to fall in love with, from the yearning
"A Sign" to the gorgeous "You Said Goodbye" its electronic teardrops and emotional nakedness could soundtrack any
broken love affair'.
NEW WORLDS (2009)
8.0 from Pitchfork:
‘Hatherley is a meticulous artist, and her songs are carefully constructed things designed for a powerful dynamic impact without sacrificing elegance and grace. She's the best sort of craft-driven writer, consistently avoiding ostentatious displays of technical ingenuity while subtly exerting her skill in ways that call attention to, rather than distract from, her melodies.’
The Sunday Times record of the week:
‘These are sensational songs, from an artist who remains bafflingly overlooked, but continues to dive into that tiny pool and come up bearing pearls.’
