Review perspective. Original criticism by Sophie Kemp / Pitchfork.
Sophie Kemp’s October 16 review for Pitchfork examines Autosmile, the second album by the Philadelphia duo @. Her piece considers how Stone Filipczak and Victoria Rose use private references, indirect language and a close creative relationship within psychedelic folk songs. Rather than settling every lyrical image into a literal explanation, Kemp follows the record’s ambiguity and the effect of its changing details. The result is a critical perspective on how intimacy can shape a record without a fully public backstory. This Soundwave overview attributes that reading to Kemp. Follow the source for her complete review; no separate Soundwave score is attached.
