Beautysleep Tanya Donelly

“Donelly’s vocals are more confident than ever, venturing new territory on the jangly, optimistic “The Storm” and the gothic “Moonbeam Monkey,” which features spooky backing vocals by the late Mark Sandman of Morphine. Beautysleep burns slow, its taunting electric guitar riffs rarely reaching the crunchy splendor of “Feed the Tree.” But while the album might not “rock,” Donelly’s lyrics are more grounded than ever” - Sal Cinquemani, Slant
