"'Anarchist Gospel' er en forrygende blanding af urgammel blues, folk, snerrende udfald og superfølsomme ballader ... Både som højst original guitarist (...) og som sanger med en både varm og hudløs stemme, er Sunny War noget af et unikum. At høre hende synge sin helt version af Dionne Farris-hittet 'Hopeless' uden at få klump i hals og vippende fødder er helt umuligt"

"The Los Angeles folk-punk singer-songwriter steps into a more expansive, considered sound, blending various strains of American roots music into a quietly idiosyncratic style"

"Anarchist Gospel is a testament to clear-eyed persistence and gritty hope over fantasies of easy resolutions. In the closing number, "Whole", War reminds her listeners, "Today could be the last you know / Happy's how you oughtta go." The importance of the moment and the careful precision her distinctive guitar playing and vocals bring to this project center Sunny War as one of the most promising and exciting voices in American roots music"

"Sunny War's new LP and her debut for New West Records, Anarchist Gospel, is as impressive as it is hard to pin down. There are elements of roots, rock, folk and soul blended throughout sounding a bit like everything and absolutely no one at the same time. Even if all of the vocals were stripped from the record, it would still be a powerful collection based on her guitar playing alone. Thankfully that's not the case as her distinctively deep vocals and complex lyrics make for a stunningly effective experience"
