“On her debut album, the British singer-songwriter Amber Bain lets go of her self-consciousness and, with some help from the 1975, makes the transformation from hesitant outsider to unlikely pop star.” – Pitchfork
“Bain is a subtle Casanova.” – GQ
“Exploring painfully intimate subjects, her music feels as heavy as it sounds light.” – Paper
“Her half-decade musical stretch has culminated in a startling alternative pop project, pregnant with anxieties and melancholy, tales of break-ups, losses and past relationships.” – Playboy
“Bain is ready to have her face in the spotlight, even if it means accepting she wants to be loved by crowds of people.” – Newsweek
” some of her most musically intelligent and honest work yet.” – i-D
“This music is the amalgamation of emotional vulnerability and self-awareness, wrapped in a warm indie-pop blanket.” – DuJour
“Free of the shackles of shyness and years in the making, [Good at Falling] is a testament to the sense of slowing things down.” – Noisey
